Baltimore Police Detective Kev Dixit is being stalked by a psychopath. He’s also saving lives and solving crimes. And he’s late for dinner.
Dixit temporarily heads the Criminal Investigation Division, a real stress inducer. Aided by humorless partners and eccentric high school friends, he investigates two vexing cases. Spouses are found shot to death in their home. Murder-suicide is the obvious call, considering one spouse had just cleaned out the couple’s joint accounts the day before. But all is not as it seems when Forensics takes a closer look at the victims’ DNA. Later, Dixit and his assigned mentee investigate a car bombing. What kind of person would viciously murder a likeable gym rat?
Oh, and that murder-suicide. It reminded Dixit of an earlier investigation, back when he was a mere newbie detective. One where he worked tirelessly to solve a string of increasingly vicious serial attacks on single women. One where he barely escaped with his life.

The Wishing Shelf – Five Stars
“The author has crafted a masterful mystery novel with a story full of unexpected twists and turns. . . . A great detective story with a clever ending.”
Kirkus Reviews
“Rieger seamlessly weaves together a gritty crime investigation, with a dark, delirious comedy. . . . A clever, funny and wonderfully strange crime detective novel.”
Readers’ Choice Book Awards – Five Stars
“As a police procedural, this patiently crafted thriller is methodical in its investigative storytelling and slow-burn character development . . . With plenty of twists and dramatic reveals to keep readers hooked, but still in the dark about the full story, this tangled mystery is entertaining from the first page.”
Self-Publishing Review
“Rieger ensures that cases are solved through meticulous police investigations rather than fortuitous breaks, adding a layer of authenticity to the story. This attention to detail makes the narrative feel genuine and engaging, particularly for fans of police procedurals. . . . The book offers a unique blend of intense action and emotional introspection, making it a worthwhile addition to the genre.”

Sunscreen Shower Review
What a ride!This was my first novel by JP Rieger but I really enjoyed it. This was also my first Kev Dixit novel which I was a little worried going in. However, you don’t have to read the other ones before reading this. While there are some references to the other book, it’s not necessary to fully enjoy the story.I love police detective series. I just find them so much fun in trying to figure out the who done it along with the detectives. However, some of them are a much darker story. JP Rieger was able to tell this story with more of an upbeat tone to it. Not saying that what happens throughout the book isn’t dark, but it doesn’t take a dark theme. It’s definitely nice to have some options when it comes to detective series with how the book comes off. There were a couple of different stories while investigating the main murder. This helps break up the monotony that can be murder mysterious. The writing is very fluid. There are multiple situations where the point of view changes fast without you even noticing. It takes some time to get used to but once you do – the smooth transition is something to admire.I really enjoyed Kev Dixit’s character. He’s very old schooled but focused on his work. His intelligence is repeatedly on display throughout the whole book as Kev finds himself in multiple scenarios. However, I think the ending of the book really shows the type of character he is. I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself with the situation he was put it. But it definitely sets up the next book to be interesting! I’m curious to see how Kev is going to deal with it.Overall, Sunscreen Shower by JP Rieger was an enjoyable read. I enjoyed the lighter tone of this police detective story. While still dealing with mysteries and murders – Rieger chose to write with a more lighthearted manner than taking it to a darker place. This is a nice refresher when wanting to read police detective stories but not with a dark tone. Kev Dixit was an enjoyable main character and I really enjoyed reading his story. The writing itself smoothly changes points of view and can take a minute to get used to. While this isn’t the first story in the Kev Dixit series, you do not need to read other ones in order to enjoy this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys police detective stories!
