Another Murder Strikes Deer Hollow
This cozy mystery is the second in a promising new series. There are plenty of suspects in the murder case of a truly unlikable woman. The story has lots of great plot twists and humorous pet moments. I would love to live in that little town, especially the rural areas surrounding the town. Alluding to Country Bumpkins really doesn’t fit. It is definitely small town, rural America. It is not, however, very far from a large urban center and has all of the great perks of a complete community. I have really enjoyed this series and can’t wait to read more! I received this book for free and this is my honest review.
The town of Deer Hollow has been named one of the top ten places to live and the small countryside town has been invaded by tourists. The town isn’t sleepy anymore and everyone is trying to purchase a piece of property. This doesn’t sit too well with the townsfolk that like things the way that they are. When a pushy realtor winds up dead on Joey’s property, she is more than a bit peeved. Joey was finally getting back into things after the death of her parent’s and a previous murder case that involved her uncle.
During the process of the investigation, Joey’s past gets dragged into the present and some hidden secrets are uncovered. Can she handle what the past has in store for her? Can she find out who killed the realtor and why she was lurking on her property?
This is a small town cozy mystery filled with mystery, hidden secrets, a bit of suspense and intrigued, and a lot of great storytelling.
