I really love Cade. I know that some may prefer Dalton, but not me. I like how he doesn’t deter Scottie from investigating. And I like that he seems kind to her grandmother. Her grandma did irk me in this addition with her Dalton stuff. The mystery itself I thought was interesting and set up really well. I am pretty good at guessing who but I also guessed the why and I was really proud of myself. It was an interesting why! I love Jack and her relationship. I am glad that she gave him a chance and he has really blossomed as a character in this book. I have missed this group of people and I hope we get more soon!

We're back in Ripple Creek and Scottie has her hands full with this case. Mostly because she's actually considered a suspect by long time friend (and former crush) Ranger Braddock. Which does not thrill Scottie in the least. But Roberta's boasts that she was going to drive Scottie out of business once she opened her tea house means Scottie has motive and Dalton needs to follow the rules and bring her down for questioning.

As it turns out, the victim had ruffled more than a few feathers over the years and Scottie's hardly the only one with motive. There's the tenant she's just served eviction papers to, the long-time friend she'd stolen from years before, and the husband she runs roughshod over. And that's just the start of the list. In other words, Scottie has her work cut out for her and, as a suspect, she can't count of Dalton helping her out in the investigation.

On the romance front, Scottie and Cade are cuddling up and Scottie's grandmother is working on a little matchmaking for Dalton (since Scottie's off the table). Things are a little rocky on the friendship front between Dalton and Scottie (thanks in part to Dalton taking her in for questioning), but they're trying to get back to a place where they really ARE friends again.

Verdict: I like spending time in Ripple Creek. *thumbs up*

Scottie is back with a new mystery to solve. This time, she'll have to clear her own name. With the list of suspects a mile long, Scottie has her work cut out for her. The ending was wild; I did not see it coming! We see more of Nana in this book, which I love. Nana is a favorite of mine; she feels like the grandma you had or wished you had. The interactions between her and Scottie make me feel so warm and reminiscent to childhood. There's more romance, baked goods, town friends. This is such a great addition to the Scottie Ramone series. It's well written, the case is interesting, and the descriptions paint a lovely mental picture. Ripple Creek sounds like an amazing small town, minus the murders. This was a book I had a hard time putting down; it was easily a read-in-one-sitting book...if I didn't have a toddler. I can't wait for the next book in the series!

Circumstantial evidence casts suspicion on Scottie. Of course she has to find the real killer. Suspects, clues, false leads and the hunt is on! Great mystery, funny moments and a hint of Suspense. I received my copy as a gift and highly recommend it.

Great story. Read it in a few hours, but…I want more!!! I am eagerly awaiting the next book (and promise to read it slower so I can savor it longer)

I enjoy reading this serious by London Lovett. Her books are quick and easy reads with a nice mix of romance, intrigue, and humor.

Still going strong, hard to put down love the stories.

This book keeps you guessing who did it, fill with fun and laughs. If I had to give it a mark it would 10 +.
