A great cast of characters, some you love and some won't. But that's what makes for an interesting read.

One nice thing that Swanson included in this book is a timeline. So now we wi;; know when exactly the books took place.

I enjoy every page of every book in this series! ( )

Skye has just agreed to help Suzette find out what happened to her mother years ago. When she goes to the future home of the country Music theater she finds Suzette's dog in the pooring down rain trying to tell Skye that something is very wrong. Skye finds Suzette under a under piece of equipment very dead. Now she needs to see if the current Murder of Suzette has anything to do with her mother's Murder years ago.

This is a page turner of a book. I really enjoyed reading it. This is the first in this series I have read but had no problem keeping up with the story so it would be fine to read out of order if you haven't read the others in the series first.

I have added Denise Swanson to my must read list and I look forward to what ever she has coming out next!! ( )
