About the book:
Off the charts
and on the run.
International pop
star Margo Hartman could use a night off. A grueling tour and overbearing
entourage have sent her over the edge. It’s time for this diva to disappear.
And who would think to look for the superstar in a small Dutch town in Ohio?
Sheriff’s deputy
Brock Moore is undercover as well. He knows Margo isn’t who she appears to be,
but her uncanny resemblance to a local Amish woman is raising all sorts of
questions…the kind that make her a target for a killer.
Both are
determined to find answers, but their mutual attraction stands in the way of
either of them doing it alone. Is finding Margo the solution to Brock’s
problems or just the beginning…?
My review:
A wonderful
mystery with delightful comedic moments!
This book is the
first in a new genre for Jen Turano. She does a masterful job of creating the
characters and the mystery elements in this story. I was thrilled to find that
she was able to continue to include laugh-out-loud comedy situations in this
new genre. If those were missing then it wouldn’t feel like a Jen Turano novel
to me.
In many ways
Margo is very knowledgeable. Yet at the same time she seems to be very clueless
about a number of common things that come up. She has been very protected and
cared for by others. This is a source of a lot of the comedy in the story.
Brock is every
inch a protector and mystery solver. This is driving him to sort things out and
find closure for his brother-in-law and himself. When Margo suddenly shows up
in danger and hiding secrets Brock’s natural tendencies kick into overdrive.
There are many
clues throughout the story about an old mystery that has gone unsolved. They
have a number of questions that are left to be revealed either near the end of
the book or in future novels in the series.
This story is the
first of a new series and I am really looking forward to reading the other two
as soon as they are available.
I was absolutely
delighted with Jen Turano’s first venture into contemporary suspense. I am
highly recommending this wonderful book and giving it a rating of 5 stars.
