Diane Kelly Follow

When I read the first book in this new series by Ms. Kelly, Getaway With Murder, I wasn’t a fan of Rocky’s speech pattern (felt he sounded a little uneducated) or the quoting. This time around, I was actually looking forward to the quotes and wasn’t disappointed.

I really enjoyed the women’s motorcycle club that stayed at the Mountaintop Lodge. Each member of the group definitely had their own personality and I know I was wondering which one would end up dead. It was really nice of them to include Misty and Brynn on a ride on their motorcycles because Misty was interested in the motorcycles. The ride turned to tragedy when the last rider didn’t appear at the overlook where the remaining women had stopped to regroup.

I know I was surprised by who ended up dead because I was expecting another woman to die. However, when the dead woman was revealed, I felt the killer could only be one person. That being said, I think Ms. Kelly did a good job with providing other suspects because it just as well could have been one of the other suspects.

I think Yeti having his/her own chapters throughout the book is an interesting twist. I also am glad that Misty is taking a chance on Rocky after her divorce and went on a date with him. I am looking forward to more stories in this series and hope that her ex and sons show up for a visit because I would like to see how they interact with her new friends.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Any time you can visit Hattie at the Moonshine Shack take it! You won’t be disappointed. With a model train competition in town Hattie is all steam ahead seeing a new client base for her store. When a competitor dies and her moonshine is suspected of being the means of delivery she’s got to put on her detective’s cap and figure out who did it before her fledgling business goes off the rails.

This is my first book by this author and I know it will not be my last. I loved all the main characters both human and feline. I loved that it takes place in Nashville and that Whitney and Buck are flipping properties. This is a wonderful cozy mystery that does not seem to need to be read in order to understand the characters. I loved the chapters that are being told by Whitney’s feline friend. I received a copy of this book from Minotaur for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked reading about the house-flipping. Sawdust the cat is my favorite character. I really want to read the next book in this series.

I received a free ARC from the publisher and NetGalley for an honest review.
