And I thought
Hard to put down.
I was pleased to get the chance to read book 1 in the series.
Previously I was able to read a couple other titles when the author toured with Great Escapes Book Tours.
To be able to go back and see how the characters developed was pleasing to this reader.
Kim Davis started the series with a great plot.
She did not waste anytime by putting Emory in the middle of a murder investigation because not only did she stumbled onto the victim but she ends up being the prime suspect because only hours earlier the two were in a 'cat fight' where all the eorld could see in the victims front yard.
The drama goes on and Emory quickly realizes to save herself she needs to figure who and why she is being set up.
With her world collapsing because of her husbands infidelity and repercussions as in being fired Emory ends up getting a new job and confidante and a sleuthing sidekick for future plots.
I have to admit Kim Davis provides one of my favorites series. The kind of series that warrants print copies for my permanent shelf.
I received a gifted copy from the author.
