Welcome! Crime and Punctuation by Kaitlyn Dunnett comes out on May 29. It is the first book Deadly Edits series. Dying Truth by Angela Marsons will be available on May 18. It is the eighth book in DI Kim Stone series.
Dead Girl Running is well-written
and has a steady pace. The book captured
my attention from the very first page, and I was captivated until the very end. The story is complex with many twists and
turns (which I love). There are three
major storylines in the book and, in the end, they all come together. There is the murder of Priscilla, smuggling,
and Kellen’s missing year. The setting
sounded beautiful yet haunting. It is
the perfect locale for nefarious activities.
The resort sounds like a lovely place to spend a relaxing few days (when
they are not finding dead bodies). The
mystery was well-crafted, and many readers will be surprised when the solution
is revealed. I could feel the suspense
as it built up and the tension as it increased.
There is some romance sprinkled throughout the story and it blended nicely
into the book. I discovered after reading Dead Girl Running that it ties into
the Virtue Falls and Bella Terra series.
I had no problem, though, with reading Dead Girl Running as a standalone. Dead Girl Running is a gripping tale that will
have you on the edge of your seat (and hoping you will not fall off). Be prepared to stay up late to finish Dead Girl Running. My rating for Dead Girl Running is 5 out of 5 stars (I loved it).
I am eager for the next book in
the Cape Charade series (What Doesn't Kill Me) to find out what happens next.

I appreciate you stopping by and reading my review. Tomorrow I share my thoughts on Murder in the Locked Library by Ellery Adams. May you have a day filled with joy. See you next time and Happy Reading!

What a great review. I had a chance to read it early and I agree with everything you said about it. It's a great story and I didn't figure out the bad guy until the end.
