A handsome stranger lends a hand, and Cordelia is immediately drawn to him. Love may be in the air between them - if they can stop butting heads long enough to let it grow.

Great Characters along with a fast-paced story made this a book I couldn't put down.

I loved the female characters, they were all believable and likeable and the author did a good job developing the main character and several of the other female character roles. The male characters were disappointing, they slowed the story down and made the story predictable. That being said, I will probably read the next book in the series because I can't wait to see what happens with the women characters.

predictable but fun

I figured out who the murderer was very quickly, but enjoyed the book nonetheless the less. The main characters are surprisingly multifaceted, the setting fun (I like beach towns), and the ending…no spoilers here. Enjoy

Although I was able to solve the mystery, I thought Under the Influence was a fun book.

Good cozy mystery

Light reading with a plot twist or two. Very Hallmark style storyline with likeable characters and a mixture of mystery and romance.

[Jeanne Guillot · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very choppy writing and jumping around. Predictable with annoying characters. All the men love the main character within a day and no real character development. Hard to finish
