Small Town Mysteries

I received a copy of this book for free, and I leave my review voluntarily.

Rosemary Willhide is an actress, turned fitness instructor, turned author of romantic suspense. She’s told stories and entertained people her entire life. Writing is her favorite because she doesn’t have to leave the house or put on pants! Plus, the voices in her head do what she says, for the most part! She lives in Las Vegas with her husband, Bill, and their adopted senior pooch, Brownie. She still teaches cycling classes. She claims they keep her sane-ish! If you pick up one of her books, you’re in for a ride full of suspense, humor, and page-turning drama. Also, there will be a rescue dog for some extra tail-wagging fun.

“For the first time in a long time, I had hope.”

Caroline left her small hometown behind right after high school, and she hasn’t really looked back. Twenty years later, she is a best-selling author who had one of her series turned into a Netflix show. Caroline has made quite the life for herself. Until she got a phone call in the middle of the night…

The pacing of this book was great. Things happened very quickly, but the twists were all very well played. I enjoyed getting to know these characters and their stories.

Caroline was a fantastic leading lady. She is sassy, intelligent, talented, brave, and when no one is looking- vulnerable.

Jake is the classic boy next door. And he was the perfect opposite for Caroline. He stayed in their small hometown and built a life.

The various characters throughout this book were perfect extras. Everyone added something to the story. As the plot unfolds and Caroline gets more involved with things from the past, old secrets start to service.

This was a fantastic thriller, with a splash of romance, a twist of humor, and a dash of chaos. Plus, a wonderful rescue pup! It’s a winning combination.
