A thrilling, edge of your seat suspense with so many twist and turns that lead up to a shocking ending.

Abby Langford left a small town in Minnesota when she was 18 to get away from a horrible childhood. She went to Los Angeles to become an actress and she ended up on a soap opera and through the years won many Emmy Awards and had quite the fan base. She also got married and had a daughter. But after many years of her actor husband’s infidelities she got a divorce.

Wanting to give her daughter a normal childhood away from all the paparazzi and the bad press she got with the divorce she goes back to Minnesota and buys a house she loved when she was little. After finding a knife in the walls with what she thinks is blood on it she alerts the police chief but he blows off her suspensions. The two instantly don’t like each other. But then Abby starts having nightmares about a murder with the knife that was found.

Josh Kincaid was a detective in Chicago. His marriage went up in flames when his wife cheated in him with his best friend and also left him a very jaded man. He decided to take the job of police chief in the small MN town to get away from the betrayal and to be closer to his sister and her family.

Along with the dreams of the murder Abby starts getting threatening letters telling her to leave. She doesn’t pay much attention to them as she has always gotten hate mail for the character she played. But this make Josh’s cop instincts perk up.

From here we are lead on a chase to figure out who the stalker is, are Abby’s dreams just nightmares or are they suppressed memories. We also get a great romance between Abby and Josh even though these two have a ton of insecurity issues to work through.

I loved this book from beginning to end and look forward to more from this author in future.

Dangerous Affairs
by
Diana Miller

My "in a nutshell" summary...

Abby...Hollywood actress and soap opera star...returns to her hometown to get away from a not so faithful husband and write. Little does she know that not so nice surprises await her.

My thoughts after reading this book...

It's always difficult to write about a mystery. A mystery is so much more fun when events in it are a surprise. This one starts off innocently enough...Abby is vacuuming and finds a bloody knife in the new/ old house that she just bought. She's also getting nasty scary letters and someone actually gets into her house to write very threatening things. On a trip to school with her young daughter she feels a threatening presence...in a hallway. And this is just the beginning.

Of course there is a handsome sheriff in town...who isn't willing to believe Abby about all of these things that she says are happening. He is gruff and hurt...by his own ex wife and in deep denial about his feelings toward Abby.
Ok...that's all that I can tell you...I had an idea about the " bad guy" from the start but I was totally off base...this book was fast paced...maybe a bit over the top with the love affair with Abby and Sheriff Josh but it was good...almost clean...fun...it kept me so involved in what was happening that I could barely put it down.

What I loved about this book...

I loved the setting, the characters and the suspense of this cozy mystery.

What I did not love...

I actually enjoyed the characters that everyone loves to hate...Abby's ex husband was the perfect creep!

Final thoughts...

I thoroughly enjoyed this fun cozy mystery. I truly hope there are many more books from this author. ( )
