A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Dying to Read (The Cate Kincaid Files #1) - Lorena McCourtney

This one popped up for free (and is currently still free), so I picked it up.  It's one of my new authors for the year.  This is the first in the series, with two additional titles: Dolled Up to Die and Death Takes a Ride.

Cate is dipping her toe into private investigating.  She's living with her uncle, who is a private investigator, and he sends her on her first case: Find a woman named Willow for her great uncle.  Checking an address, she finds a gaggle of women on a porch.  They're part of a book club and are there for their meeting.  Going inside, Cate doesn't find Willow, but she does find a dead body.

The authorities think it's an accident, but Cate can't shake the feeling that there's more to the story.  Add to that, everyone she talks to seems to think the truth is flexible, and she's got a mystery on her hands.  She meets a knight in shining armor, Mitch, and comes to count on him, even though he disapproves of her diving into the case where a killer might be involved.

This book was better than I expected.  The author has a nice, conversational writing style that makes the book easy to read.  I liked all the little twists and turns in the story.  I might go ahead and track the other two books, even though I normally don't read these kinds of mysteries.  Good Book!
