Another mystery to solve for Kelley, lots of interesting characters and suspects.
Will Kelley die trying to find the murderer or will she decide to learn to drive a truck instead, never a dull moment, put this on your must read list.
I received this audiobook for free from the author and wanted to give an honest review.
The narrator really does an excellent job of bringing this story to life.
Kelly just can’t stay away from murder investigations. In this story, not only does she get involved in the investigation but she’s involved in the discovery of the murder as well. I enjoyed the characters. Loved their descriptions and their names!
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed this book. Dianne Harman has created another winner with this book. I love all the different situations the main character finds herself in and the way she is always up for an adventure. I would never have thought driving to different locations would be so interesting and that you would need a whole different language, not that Kelly got to do much traveling before finding the body. It was unusual for the story not to start with the murder (as this author tends to do) but I think it worked for this story because it gave you a chance to learn why Kelly was in a truck in the first place. The mystery was good and and as each suspect kept pointing the finger at each other it kept you guessing. It’s a nice easy read despite it covering the serious subject of prostitution.
Kelly missing her son, she jumps at the chance to catch up with his best friend from when he was a teenager by joining him as he goes about his business as a truck. The problem is at the first truck stop they stop at to grab a coffee, Kelly finds a dead body. Her husband is at home in bed with the flu that is making its way throughout the police department and his deputy asks Kelly to help out by asking questions. It turns out the young lady didn’t just work in the truck stop and the more Kelly digs the closer she comes to danger.
I like the narrator, as she used different voices for each of the characters, although I am not sure about one of the characters singing a few lines to a song.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Kelly’s son old friend stops by-he is a trucker and Kelly is intrigued. He asks if she wants to go on a run with him. Kelly’s sheriff husband is down with a bad case of the flu–as are a lot of others in the sheriff’s department. So when Kelly innocently goes to use the ladies room at the truck stop and finds the body of a women—–you know she is going to want to know who did it!
Lots of suspects-lots of twists and turns–the apparent reason for the murder is easy to figure out–but the real underlying cause–will not be apparent until it is revealed at the very end!
