Crime Unraveled by Chuck Morgan is the 13th in a series about Buck Taylor, an agent with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Even though it's in a lengthy series of crime novels, each novel is a stand-alone story with plenty of character description and background to give the reader an immersive experience. This is a wonderfully descriptive and detailed crime novel! The background information on characters is always relevant to the present situation. The details on the character relationships and investigative procedures seems well-researched and pertinent to the ongoing and unfolding drama. The reader is pulled into the action nearly immediately, and then the author reveals the antagonists who committed the crime as well as a slight peek into why they committed the crime. I was skeptical about this reveal at first probably because I prefer a crime story forces the reader to solve things as the story goes along, including several twists along the way. However, I was pleasantly satisfied that this revelation did not at all spoil the story. Buck Taylor is a fantastic and multi-layered character and he is surrounded by other characters with depth and realistic qualities. Again, it's an immersive and realistic story that shows how far greed can take some people and how much we need good guys and good women who are incorruptible by greed and will uphold the law.
