The author and Goddess Fish Blog gave me the opportunity to read this story for review on this tour (thank you). You can find a copy wherever ebooks are sold and I see she has some short stories about Mercy out, too. Check it out.
Mercy is attractive but she's not dumb. As she starts digging, she finds out Gavin was upset about the death of a young bride and was investigating that. The further down the trail she goes, the nastier it gets.
There is a little too much in the story about how Mercy and her mother look Marilyn Monroe and everyone lusts after them. It goes on through the whole book. I'd like to see it toned down a bit in future books for my taste. It might work just fine for you.
The mystery is good, the murderers were a bit twisted, and Ms. Hartoin surprised me. I like that. I thought I had a clue but I was a bit off in my assumption. Why not see how you can do?
A.W. will

Definitely an interesting premise! I wouldn't know what to do if my dad told me to investigate a murder!

Thanks for your honest review. Just reading a bit about the plot make me a little leery about this book. From what I understand this is a YA book and I probably shouldn't pass judgment because I haven't read it.

It's not young adult. Mercy is in her twenties, she's taking care of the house while her parents are on vacation. Don't let my review put you off. It's a good story. I just point out what I like and what bothered me a bit. It might not look that way to you; it's a personal observation.
What a great excerpt! I'm loving this tour!

Nice review

I like good mysteries - but I don't like them to be too 'deep' or 'dark'. I think this one just might be one on the light side, so I'm looking forward to reading it - and checking out the series.
