DNF- listened on audio and decided to call it quits at 40% in. Big fan of Dolly, just not of this book.

So good! I was sold on the authors. The story dragged me in. It was a little long, the action mostly at the end, but overall I enjoyed it!

Listening to this one is a treat - I love hearing Dolly’s voice

I was really excited to read this book due to being a huge fan of Dolly Parton.
Although I really enjoyed the story, I just felt it wasn't as fast pace as I would have liked. I was left wondering who Rose was and what had happened. I felt once that story was out in the open, it kind of ended and had to re-read it twice to make sure I had missed it. It does actually explain in the next chapter.
It is still a good read if you like mysteries and it's well written.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this book.
