Four months have passed since Dakota Maddison opened her new tattoo shop. Being accused of murder three days after she moved to town wasn’t the welcome she had expected but after finding the real killer, her life fell into place exactly as she suspected it would.
She made some friends and had more of a social life than she ever had in the city. After their initial resistance to her opening her business in their town, the locals started to accept her as one of their own. Even the detective who targeted her as a murderer was now cordial.
The fourth of July celebrations were coming up and Dakota had invited her friends from back home to stay for the weekend. Looking forward to celebrating her favorite holiday with her favorite people, the last thing she expected was to find a body on the floor of her shop the day after they arrived.
Will Dakota be able to clear her name of murder a second time or has her reputation been left with a permanent black mark?

I found this book to have a little bit more sarcasm. Which I like. I finished the book in about an hour. Left me with some questions. I hope for a book #3. Not at all disappointed with this book. I do like that most of the same characters came back.
When I first got the book on my Kindle I didn't realize that the whole book didn't download. I was missing chapter 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11. After I found out about the missing chapters, I downloaded it again. I ended up reading it twice in one day. I was very please to have the missing pieces help everything make sense. My review doesnt change. I really enjoyed the book. I can see where an author could have dragged it out. But Ms. Arrowsmith didn't do that. Thank you. I am hoping for a book #3.
DNF - There wasn't any world building. A description of the 4th of July party would have been nice. Also, none of the characters were described at all. A few extra paragraphs of world building and character descriptions would have helped.
It's hard to get into a story when you don't know how the scene or characters look. It's a shame since I really enjoyed the first book.
