Even better than the first…
K. B. Jackson’s Secrets in Pink is the second book in her Chattertowne Mystery Series and as good as the first one was, the second is even better. In this story, people are killed, vandals paint graffiti, buildings are burnt down, but why? Who is actually doing this and why? Some of today’s polarized politics shows up in the plotting but is done to propel the story along, not to preach. Lots of old faces show up and some new ones. All in all this is a very satisfying story. I devoured it and now I’m left wishing there were more. Book three won’t be published soon enough.

To be honest, I chose this book on Netgalley because I loved the cover. I am not usually a cosy mystery reader but the summary sounded good. I started reading the book almost as soon as I downloaded it. This is my first KB Jackson book and I was about 1/3 of through when I realized that there was a book prior to this one (Secrets Don't Sink). Having not read the first story didn't hinder this one but I feel I would have a better connection and understanding of the main character (who I did like a lot though) and some references would've made more sense.
This was a well-done plot that had a good pace and no "flat" spots. I interest was kept all the way through. I could see the scenes in my imagination very well. There was some good humour throughout. The bonus was I did not guess the ending or "who did it"!
An all 'round great read that I would recommend to anyone looking for an easy, and sometimes light-hearted, mystery read.
Thanks to Netgalley and Level Best Books for the opportunity to discover a new author. I will be watching for #3 of this series.
