Description
Renowned journalist Rosella Marlow has won the Best House on the Block award year after year, until recently. This adds to Rosella’s growing paranoia, grief, and resentment after a recent loss. She watches all her neighbors closely, hoping to write an exposé on all of them and enlists new neighbor Shannon Gibbons to help. When Rosella is murdered, everyone on the block becomes a suspect, since they all had reason to hate her. Shannon will have to uncover the truth if she hopes to stay in this beautiful neighborhood, hopefully with one less murderer.
This was an interesting story with lots of twists and turns. You could certainly feel Shannon’s frustration as she tries to solve the murder of a woman nobody liked. This book is certainly not one of Ragan’s darker tales. It does deal with grief, abandonment and abuse, but not as in depth as some of her other stories. It felt like it had a more upbeat and hopeful aspect to it, while dealing with these issues. Overall, a great addition to your T.R. Ragan collection of mysteries.
