Book Review:

I really enjoyed this book and gave it 4 stars. It is part of a series that I haven’t read from before. I would like to go back and read the first five books. You don’t have to read them in order, but I recommend that you do so you can know who the characters are and why they are in the book. The author does a great job of telling you what you need to know of them.

In this book Whitney and her cousin Buck have purchased a fire house to renovate and also a townhouse to flip. They have their hands full because the townhouse was done through a quick deed and the siblings that they purchased it from are not happy because one of them got a little more than rest of them. The siblings don’t care about the house, but they don’t want to be out done by another. To get there their way they start some issues with Whitney and Buck. The townhouse next door is owned by an elderly lady who brought the house to the attention to Whitney and Buck and once they fix it up, she wants to purchase it for her daughter and her family.

One day the lady shows up at the fire station and she ends up fainting and Whitney calls 911 because she isn’t breathing right. On the way to the hospital the elderly lady dies. Come to find out she didn’t die of natural causes. Who killed her and why?

I really enjoy the friendships and family ties in this book. I love how they all back each up and the love of all.
