Will her personal life ever be as simple as unveiling a murderer?

My Review

I found this book to be a fun, charming, fast, cozy mystery of a read. It was so easy to read this book. Everything from the storyline to the characters were great. A nice start to this series. I look forward to reading the next book.

The first word I would use to describe Julienne is "sensible". There is nothing wrong with this quality. Yet, you could say that Julienne does not have much excitement in her life. Well that is until the murder of Pastor Tom.

Julienne investigating the murder to clear her name with the help of Felicia and Mason had me instantly thinking of Nancy Drew and her friends. However, Julienne is the earlier Nancy before she honed her skills and became really good at solving mysteries. The love interest between Julienne and Mason was sweet. Mason is a gentleman but at the same time the ways he would comfort Julienne or kiss her cheek had me swooning. Readers will be pleased with this book.
