Kat’s in the middle of a new mystery in this book. Kat is actually an author of some steamy type books, but she somehow seems to find herself in the middle of a murder mystery. Kat’s friend Deborah has a cheating husband. And there’s some questionable young women he’s fooling around with. And since it’s all taking place on a college campus, it’s causing quite a commotion. And then someone is found murdered. There are a lot of triangles and suspects surrounding this mystery. The narration of the audiobook was done well and easy to listen to.
Another fun read, with great characters and a story full of twists and turns.
A received this audiobook for free from the author and wanted to give an honest review.
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed this cozy mystery. Normally I have a guess or even know who the culprit is but this book certainly kept me guessing. It was cleverly constructed with plenty of suspects and twists. The story starts with the murder and then you are introduced to the suspects and motives, giving you the chance to solve the murder if you can. This is book four in a ten book series (so far) and that shows just how popular this series is. I like it because of the characters who are like able and well rounded and the main focus is the mystery. You can also pick up any book in the series and know you are in for a cozy listen.
When Kat’s husband was under suspicion for murder she turned to her friend Deborah for advice on pornography. So when her husbands student is found dead, one he turned to for help with special projects. She wasn’t the first but the first Deborah knew about. In order to help her friends husband and even her friend stay off the top of the suspects list, Kat will have to work out if the professor’s past was the reason the young innocent coed was killed. Another murder involving the college could have far out reaching consequences for Kat herself, as her own daughters sorority house start talking about providing the girls with guns. Can Kat catch a killer before things get out of control?
I liked the narrator, she has read most of the books in this series for a reason and that’s because she is good.
