Book Description:
Folks in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, claim that where Nikki Bryant goes, trouble is not far behind. Her refusal to back down from a challenge has made Nikki Bryant a top investigative journalist.
But before she has time to unpack her car, Nikki stumbles upon the dead body of local news anchor, Ashleigh Addison, her childhood rival. Could Ashleigh’s death be connected to an explosive news story that she had teased about airing live? Did that explosive story have anything to do with the murder of Nikki’s father?
With the clues in her father’s cold case hot again, Nikki intends to chase down the story of her life until she catches his killer—no matter what it takes.
My thoughts:
First, I fell in love
with the cover, then I fell in love with the adorable characters. It was a toss-up between Nikki, Ryan and Elmo
and after reading this charming and fun novel, I have decided the three of them
are my new favorite fictional characters.
I started reading cozy mysteries several years ago and have discovered
they are one of my favorite genres. Although this is only the second book I
have read by Ms. Carr. who is now one of my favorite authors
The story of investigative journalist, Nikki is interesting, entertaining and will make you laugh just a little. She is surrounded by family, old acquaintances, a stepbrother who just happens to be her first love, a cook who had me laughing out loud and her dog, Elmo. Elmo is a social media darling, absolutely adorable and he is fully aware of how loved he is. I quickly got caught up in the storyline and every time I thought I knew what would happen next, the author added another twist or turn that threw me off. All I will say is this, there is a lot happening in this town but it is all so good and will have you turning pages as fast as you can and you won’t be disappointed in the end.
I cannot wait to see what the author has in store for her readers in the next book in the series. I read this book in one afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed my time in Pine Grove, Pa. I hope you will, too.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
