Reviews

[Miranda Summerset]

2.5/5 STARS! Harlequins are always fun guilty pleasure reads & I enjoyed this addition to the Shotgun Sally saga. Fun plot, & I loved Cara. Ridiculous & over the top, but I like it anyways.

Es una novela de romance e investigación criminal que se desarrolla en un pequeño pueblo de Texas llamado Mustang Valley. Todo comienza cuando la reportera Cara Hamilton va a encontrarse con su amiga Nancy Wilks quien la había citado a su casa para enseñarle algo. Pero Cara no imaginaba el horror con el que iba a toparse. Su amiga había sido asesinada. Al llegar la policía el ayudante del sheriff Mitchel Steel requiere a Cara para un interrogatorio. Ambos llegan a la conclusión de que tanto el asesinato de Nancy como otros dos anteriores están relacionados, y ambos llegan a un acuerdo de investigar lo ocurrido donde Mitchel lograría resolver el caso y Cara quedarse con la primicia de la noticia. Al paso del tiempo ambos llegan a ser más que aliados, un complemento el uno del otro.
