Synopsis

    Stormi Nelson, best-selling romance author, moved into her huge Victorian house in the private community of Oak Meadows Estates. When her agent tells her that her characters are becoming too cardboard and that she needs to get out and mingle with people, she comes up with the idea of a Neighborhood Watch Program. The only problem is … she’s the only member. On her first night of patrol, she stumbles over a dead body, meets a hunky detective, who happens to be her neighbor and clearly frustrated with her, and her mother, sister, niece and nephew arrive to shake up Stormi’s peaceful life. As she is immersed ever deeper into the mystery surrounding a neighbor’s murder, she decides to change writing tactics and write a romantic mystery based on her experiences. What follows is a frolicking good time as Stormi finds herself the nosiest neighbor of them all. Can she find the killer before she becomes the next victim?

Review

I enjoyed this book, it was a fun read!  I think this is the first time I have read a cozy where the amateur sleuth is a romance writer.  I loved her name too, Stormi, it just sounds like she should be a romance writer.  The story flows along nicely with some clues given about the neighbors and who the killer might be, but I didn’t figure it out until the end when it was revealed.  I don’t think I even had any suspicions as to whodoneit.  There is a love story between Stormi and Matt, the police detective, but it is very G rated.

I think this could be a good series going forward and I look forward to reading more by this author.  We give this book 4 paws up!
