3 Stars from me.

This is book five in the series Cranberry Cove.

Monica and her husband, Greg, are having a quiet night at home when there is a knock at the door. On the other side is Dana, who claims someone is trying to kill her. Monica quickly becomes involved in Dana’s attempts to find out what had happened to her.

Shortly after, Dana’s sister, Marta, is found dead in her home. There are plenty of suspects and the situation turns out to be a lot more complicated that thought at first. It doesn’t help that Dana can’t remember what happened the night of her car accident.

I liked Monica. She’s level-headed and thinks things through before acting. She was also dealing with some issues of her own in between all the other drama going on. Gina was also a very interesting character.

I did not see the ending coming. Like I said before, there were plenty of suspects, but the real one managed to slip by without notice. There were some questionable actions towards the end by Dana and Monica, but I can’t go into more detail without giving away too much about what happens in the story.

This was an alright read. I haven’t read any of the books prior to this one in the series, and you don’t really have to to still enjoy this one. But I did feel like there was some information about Monica that I missed out on.

I enjoyed Peg Cochrane’s series Murder, She Reported, a lot more.

I received an advanced copy of the book from Netgalley to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Was I hooked by this book? Slightly, yes. I might have to go back to the start of Monica’s story.
