Casper spent 11 months in county jail after being charged of murdering his boss. He is now exonerated after his own sister committed suicide after (view spoiler) confessed about the murder.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this charming novella in exchange for an honest review.

I don't mind those occasionally, but I do like my mysteries to have a bit of spice/steam to the them. Also like to see the romance between the 2 mc's develop.

Good plot, keep my interest up, but a little disappointed. ...more
