This story was enjoyable but I felt confused at times since the voices for different people were so similar in my opinion. Overall the story was good and I can see it has potential in the future.

This is a collection of three short mysteries featuring a lady detective and her agency.
The stories are short and easy to read while the mysteries are not overly complicated. I liked some of the characters although I would like to have seen then developed a little more. Overall, these were quick and easy read. I would like them to have a little more depth, but I did enjoy them as is.
Recommended.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout for review purposes
Thanks to book sprout.com and the author Nicole Higginbotham-Hogue for the advance Arc copy for my honest review.
This is my first read from the author, not getting into this at all, so far don’t like her writing style and we’ll see as I read the other books if that changes.
Book 1 – Sentiment of the Heart, it’s a hot mess, wasn’t getting into it, it’s unrealistic, nor believable, predictable and just asinine. So Parker plans with a customer to take his granddaughter Kay to a remote deserted island to look for buried yet they bring nothing with them as far as a backpack for food or water. Yet Parker whose a private detective, doesn’t have a weapon or any survival gear and just brings her smokes.
Then you got them paddling in what I believe is a john boat for an hour, from the island to mainland, of course lets sugarcoat it by saying they hit the tides just right, they arrive at a beach and miraculous it’s near Parker’s house. Just seems it would have made more sense to just have John fire up his pleasure boat, then drop them off where Parker left her sports car.
Let me add that I liked the Kay character, so it had my interest but it’s more the author’s writing that made me want tojust not bother with continuing, although I slogged through it, the bigger problem is that as you read your learn tidbits to the story and it be a better read if the storyline was strong verse being a weak one.
I’d give this one, 1 star. Only since you can easily figure it out, it’s no real mystery, kind of stupid in a way and even dumber the murder that gets solved. So it takes someone getting shot nearly dying, to realize they saw their partner through a kitchen window holstering a hand gun, pulling off black outer clothes he wore over his uniform, a mask and washing his hands in a bird bath.
Book 2 – Trusting Heart – Yet another hot mess, wasn’t getting into it, it’s unrealistic, nor believable, predictable, asinine and thankful reached the point in a book, where I consider it read. I just can’t recommend this one, definitely one that I would love to see another author take these 3 books and rewrite them.
