My thoughts:

Strangled in Sacramento is the third in a trio of mystery novellas being reviewed for this tour.  There are around 14 in the series so far.  To refresh, we are following , a photographer who is traveling from US capital to US capital to take photographs for a magazine.  This is his third stop in Sacramento, California.  Just his luck, not only does he stumble on a murder case, he also has his camera stolen.

I am really enjoying this series.  I like Nick as a character.  He would give Sherlock a run for his money because he always notices the one thing that the police didn't notice.  I kind of figured this one out early one, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment.  I definitely think he should go for it with Sandra.   I look forward to seeing if she shows up in future books.  If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend this series.
