I am reviewing a copy of Downstate Illinois through The Wild Rose Press, Inc and Netgalley:




Weston Payley is a muddled aged romance novelist who moves from Chicago to the small Illinois town where he summered as a boy. He’s looking for the simpler life he found there as a boy, but instead of that he finds complications, like beguiling single mom Rebecca. As their affair heats up, Weston becomes embroiled in a murder investigation.





Suddenly the small Illinois town becomes a hotspot of danger and passion. Instead of the fresh start he was hoping for Westons new life just may come to a sudden end.



I give Downstate Illinois four out of five stars!
