My Review

This author is new to me, and I have to say I really enjoyed the unique mystery/romance she presented in this book. I felt like Sophie was really well developed, and I had a clear picture of her in my mind. One thing I loved about the book was the Rear Window vibe as that's one of my favorite movies, and I felt like with the book having to do so much with neighbors, it had a similar type vibe. The ending really blows you away, and the twists and turns on the way really keep you glued to the page. I enjoyed the light clean romance, and how it didn't interrupt the mystery too much. Each piece of the puzzle was slowly revealed to keep you guessing until the very last pages of the book. Overall, my only issue may be the dominant first person voice proved a little confusing for me. I recommend this one for the mystery/suspense reader who likes a light clean romance.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, and all opinions given are entirely my own.

Book 1 of Sophie O’Brion Mysteries introduces us to Sophie O’Brion, a quirky, funny, and reclusive mystery writer who lives in a small town in East Texas. Because Sophie looks at life through a lens of humor, funny moments appear often. There are frightening moments, too, in her quest to clear her name from pointing fingers accusing her of murder and attempted murder. Sophie is vulnerable, yet strong; reclusive, yet kind; funny, yet serious. And she is determined! It doesn’t help that added to all this is the return of her high school sweetheart who dumped her 12 years before to join the Marines. As a new police officer, Burke is assigned her case, but she doesn’t want his help. Sparks fly, trust doesn’t, and love stays comfortably in the past. Will Sophie and Burke be able to save her reputation and re-ignite their love for each other? I hope you enjoy this book! Happy reading!
