I feel like nothing crazy happened but I do really like suspense!! I thought the plot line was creative and wish it was longer

Really enjoyed this story.

Definitely felt cheesy in places but not in an unenjoyable way.

The romance angle between Lyda and Will did feel a bit forced.

I love the Finlay Donovan series so I expected to like this more. 

However the ending was wrapped up too quickly. And yes I understand it’s a novella so it’s a short story but it was like those cheesy cop shows you watch where someone single ahah I know who did it and then the person just confesses. Very disappointing

A cute little mystery novella about a down on her luck real estate agent who has to solve a murder!

“Someone wanted to make it look like Marilee had done this. And they’d been careful to make the crime scene look convincing. I turned to Dani, certain I was right. ‘I think the killer staged the house.’”

Not the strongest start for this series, but it was fine.
