This was another great Loveday mystery! Loveday becomes embroiled in another murder investigation when Brian Teague, a man she met briefly when accompanying her artist friend, Lawrence, to a meeting with him, is found dead in his house. Brian had blamed Lawrence for the death of his wife and unborn twins after they were killed in a car wreck that Lawrence served time in prison for (even though Lawrence's wife was driving the car that hit Brian's wife). Lawrence is attacked and left in the hospital. Afterwards, more people are killed. Is there a connection between the murders or not? Find out by reading this intriguing mystery. I highly recommend it to other cozy mystery readers. I received an ARC of this book, and the opinion expressed is strictly my own.

Past grudges and murder!
This was the first book that I have read in this series, and it does work as a standalone. I really like it and will have to go back and read more of them. Loveday is going back to work after having her daughter but has a brilliant plan on how she can mother and work at the same time. An old friend of Loveday's, Lawrence, is brutally beaten shortly after Loveday accompanied him to a meeting with Brian Teague. Teague has an old grudge against Lawrence but claims he is over it. Is Teague the one who attached Lawrence? If so, then who murdered Teague? Can Loveday and her partner Sam the detective unravel what has happened before anyone else is hurt?
I received an ARC. This is my honest review.
