What a fun book! Filled with LaManna humor, Lucy Little is the woman spurned who is trying to turn her life around while living in the she-shed on her parent's property。 The fact that she's an author (with an unfortunate first book story) is a real bonus when murder comes to town! She has just switched from writing romance to trying to write a mystery, and dives right into sleuthing。 Fantastic characters from teenage to octogenarians, support---err maybe that's interfere with---Lucy's sleuthing/ What a fun book!

In spite of her slap dash beauty routine, there is no shortage of interested men。 But Lucy's strong will and high self standards keep her self reliant。。。and there's also that participant in the unfortunate first book story who is a constant deterrent to trusting someone!I loved the book and hope we don't have to wait too long for the next installment of Gina LaManna's newest hit series! 。。。more

Melissa,
So many twists and turns that I honestly did not see it coming as to who the murderer was。 I had many guesses and some were even outside the box and one was half correct but it definitely is a surprise ending! Loved the suspense with a little bit of romance as well! I voluntarily received and read and ARC for an honest review。
Gayle,
Lucy Little is down on her luck, has returned to her hometown and is living in her parents backyard “she shed” while trying to put her life back together。 Unfortunately, her plans are thrown for a loop after Lucy stumbles across a murder mystery。 Filled with plenty of twists, quirky characters, an ex-boyfriend and new friendships this book is a great start to a new series。 Can’t wait to see where Lucy takes us next!
