Author Tess Harrow and her daughter, Gertrude have a bad reputation due to their involvement in recent murder cases. To change people's perceptions, Tess combines her new book release and her bookstore opening into one big event. But the night before the party, Tess is surprised when her mother comes for a visit, with her younger new boyfriend. Gertrude recognizes him as the notorious Levi Parker, a man recently connected to the deaths of three elderly widows. Tess alerts Sheriff Boyd about him, but it's already too late. Levi Parker is found dead, and Tess's mother is the prime suspect. Her mother swears she didn't murder Levi. Can Tess get to the bottom of the story before it's too late.
I liked this cozy mystery. The ending wasn't a surprise because I realized who the culprit was in the beginning of the book. But the plot was so convoluted that I wanted to read it until the very end. I loved Tess's mother. She was a breath of fresh air and a little comedic relief. I also liked the romantic tension between the main character and the Sheriff. Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to read this advanced reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
