A review by naughtynicky
No Gravestone Left Unturned by Gena Showalter, Jill Monroe
4.0
In the second installment in the Jane Ladling Mystery series, we return to the The Garden of Memories Cemetary in the small town of Aurelian Hills.
There is another dead body (of course). It wouldn’t be a mystery if there wasn’t. This time it’s the body of a “hard hitting” journalist and former classmate, that gets left on Jane’s front porch.
She obviously calls Special Agent Conrad Ryan, to help her solve the mystery. She is still fighting her feelings for him as she doesn’t want to fall under her family's curse where the women are fated to lose any man they love. You get to see more of Conrad’s personality in this book and we also get introduced to his brother Wyatt.
There is also more of Beau and we are introduced to three of his friends Trick, Isaac & Holden. Beau is a lot more open in this book than he was in book 1. I think there is more to him than meets the eye. We shall see.
Jane is just as crazy in this book, as she was in the first and you get just as much of her inner dialogue as you did before, especially in the scene where she accidentally swallows the seed of a Thorn Apple and starts to hallucinate that a tree is talking to her and giving her advice.
Jane is also just as confidant. She obviously starts investigating the murder herself again with her friends and Rolex at her side. After all, there is no one better than her to solve this mystery.
The only thing I don’t like about these books are the covers. I hate to admit that even though I really enjoyed this book, I would walk past it if I saw it on a shelf in a book store, however I’m going to continue with this series. I’m looking forward to book 3, Game of Graves.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book from the authors in exchange for an honest review.
