I would like to thank both NetGalley and Beyond the Page Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book. All opinions are my own.

Book Review:

I really enjoyed this book, and I gave it 4 stars. Even though this is the 9th book in the series you are able to read them out of order, but I recommend that you don’t. This is the second book that I have read in the series, and I can say I am having a blast.

In this book Cooper’s Grammy is up in the air with one of her friends, Esme. Esme’s granddaughter is in engaged to Ronald, who is into real estate, and they are trying to force her to sale her home. Esme isn’t ready to sale yet and she doesn’t want to go to a nursing home. Grammy ask Cooper to go to Esme birthday party with her bible study group to see if they can get more about Ronald.

At the birthday party Cooper realizes that Esme is really well off because she owns a mansion. There are some nice things in the home, and it is really too big for Esme by herself with the limited help she has hired. While there she overhears an argument between Esme, Ronald and her Granddaughter. All is not what it seems.

In the next couple of days, they find out some things that no one knew, and they have found Ronald dead in the trunk of his car. Who killed him and why? That is the main story in this book but there is also a smaller story going on at the same time. That is Coopers boyfriend is in California for a conference and her friends and family are acting weird. She is worried that he will get a job and stay there and leave her alone and what is up with everyone.

Cooper and friends are doing all they can to Grammy and her friends, but nothing seems to add up. Too many people and motives and no answers on who really did it.
