Review by Anne K. Edwards

Why Casey Had to Die fits squarely into the mystery book genre, plot- and character-wise. Bronson fits the image of "hard-boiled" detective so commonly found in mystery books, yet he is so much more than that, largely because of his interaction with his wife. And his wife is a delight, both what you would expect and what you wouldn't expect- kind of like Harry Bronson himself. I was surprised by the ending and the book kept me up late one night just so I could finish it. In my life, that's always the sign of a good read.

Look out Nora Roberts, here comes L.C. Hayden. Why Casey Had to Die is a twisted, roller coaster murder mystery ride that will take you over the river and through the woods before the reader ever understands who's going down and why. Five stars.

Review for Mystery Morgue:
Who is Harry Bronson? He likes to ask questions but very rarely answers them. He likes his coffee and loves his wife, Carol. If you haven't read What Others Know, do yourself a favor. Read it first. Upon completion, you will need to know Why Casey Had to Die.

As I read this mystery, I did not want to stop and knew that if the phone rang, I would not answer it. I wanted no interruptions. It has been a long time I have been this invested in such a well-crafted book; I literally could not put it down. I await the next Harry Bronson installment.

I couldn't stop reading Why Casey Had to Die. At the end of each chapter, I told myself that I would read one more chapter and then put the book down. After a few chapters, I didn't bother to tell myself I would put the book down. I was hooked and couldn't stop until I found ouWhy Casey Had to Die.

Talented L. C. Hayden does it again! She draws the reader quickly into danger as we learn retiring policeman Harry Bronson has an enemy. The why of it keeps you reading as the well-told tale unwinds. A great combination of mystery and romance you will find compelling and refreshing.

Drawn in from the first page, I was reluctant to put the book down until the very end. Hayden has created a suspenseful tale full of interesting characters that will keep readers guessing. Every twist and turn adds depth to this well crafted story. All fans of the whodunit mysteries will find a new series to devour.
