What does family mean?
In our mysteries today, we'll take at 2 different looks at
what makes a family, and why!
Synopsis:
Private investigators Liz Talbot and Nate Andrews are all set to enjoy some quality time on the beach. That’s until they get the news about Darius. Darius DeAndre Baker, star of the hit TV show, Main Street USA, has had enough of the Hollywood highlife. After ten years of visiting everyone else’s hometown, he returns to his own—Stella Maris, South Carolina. But the moving trucks have barely unloaded when Trina Lynn Causby, Darius’s high school girlfriend, turns up dead, and the entire town reels as Darius is arrested. Despite the mounting evidence against him, Liz and Nate believe Darius is innocent. They dig through a scandalously long list of suspects, including Darius’s three ex-wives—who have all arrived in Stella Maris—and his love child with Trina Lynn. But Trina Lynn led a complicated life. She had at least one stalker and two suitors—one with a jealous wife who recently made a deliciously outrageous scene when Trina Lynn turned up at a charity ball. As the danger mounts, Liz and Nate race to find a killer and clear Darius’s name—and keep him alive.
Review:
This book is #8 in the series, and only the 2nd one I have read (no, no clue why, just never went back and read the rest!). This is a fun Southern mystery, that keeps you guessing, as new evidence keeps coming, that leads the reader and Liz and Nate in different directions, and the end just might surprise you! Along the way you get to meet Liz' family, and extended one, and see just what might have led her to be a great deductor. This is the perfect series to fall into, if you're looking for a new series for fall reading!
