Synopsis

 

You have all heard the story: big-city girl moves to small town and lives happily ever after. That’s not the forever-after Angel Delaight found when she moved to Whistle Stop, Minnesota. First her realtor is found dead in her new house, which is also rumored to be haunted. Then homeless animals began showing up at her door, along with a bevy of townspeople who seem to know what she is doing at all times. Not to mention a secret journal turning up during renovation, revealing more secrets hidden in this small community.

Will those secrets from the past put Angel’s life and those of her friends and family in danger? When the big-city girl meets a small town, it can be murder.

Review

 

This book is not light on mysteries to solve!

Angel decides to leave the big city of Chicago and make her home in a small town.  She doesn’t expect to find herself in the middle of a murder investigation where her realtor is found dead by Angel herself and then the realtor’s brother is found dead.  To top it off, in the midst of remodeling her new property she finds diaries of someone that was held captive in the carriage house, but no one knows who she is which is kind of strange for a small town where everyone knows everyone else’s business.  And to further add to the story, a mother and her two daughters are on the run from an abusive husband/father.  And of course, you have to have a budding romantic relationship to round out the story.

I really enjoyed the complexities of this story.  I never felt like there were lulls in the story and while I didn’t guess the killer, I did have some suspicions about a few of the town residents.  There are quite a few subplots that rounded out the story and additional characters will make for interesting reads in future books in this series.  I love small towns and the camaraderie that they have with each other.  This town will be no different.

At the end is some history on Whistle Depot that was fascinating, so make sure to read the author’s notes.

Overall we enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next in the series.  We give it 4 paws up.

 

 

 

About the Author

 

A Bit About Me As An Impassioned Writer

As human beings, we are always a work in progress. From birth to death we live, hurt, laugh, cry, feel, and with all of those emotions we grow as people, as family members, and as friends. I am a dreamer and feel blessed to have the opportunity in my writing to pass those dreams on to others. I believe you are never too old to dream and to turn those dreams into a creative endeavor. I live in rural Minnesota and I am a wife, mother, and grandmother.

I have worn many hats throughout my life such as working as a waitress, nursing home activities person, office manager and finally a computer repair person eventually owning my own computer sales and repair business. I never forgot my love of writing and quit my computer business in 2012 after signing a contract with Cozy Cat Press for Granny Hooks A Crook, the first book in my Fuchsia, Minnesota Series.

Adding five more books to the Fuchsia Series, adding a Brilliant, Minnesota Series and writing a column for local newspapers feeds my writing creativity. This year the Whistle Stop series was born. Small towns have my heart and I hoped to convey that in my new series.

I also dabble a bit in watercolor painting and hope to eventually add pictures to my children’s book series, Granny’s In Trouble.

Oh, and did I tell you I like to be a little bit silly.
