The third book in the Poppy McGuire Mystery Series!

Controversy sells as much as sex, and nobody knows that better than the local radio morning DJ who loves to talk politics. His shows enrage people, but who hated Lee Reynolds enough to shoot him point blank and leave him for dead in the woods outside of town?

Poppy and Alex have no shortage of suspects and for once aren't at odds on who they like for the crime. But all is not well between the partners. This time, murder has brought with it a new love interest for Poppy, but Alex isn't happy with this turn of events.

Will he lose Poppy, the one person he trusts in Sunset Ridge?

A guy who is widely popular for his controversial opinions on the radio has been found murdered. A lot of enemies because of these opinions. Who could have done it?

It is up to Poppy and Alex to solve the case. There were so many puzzles that they have to fit.

Things are Heating up

Good read. Thing are starting to heat up in the romance department for Poppy she finally has a date. The characters in this book are good. More road trips for Poppy and Alex.

I knew it! As soon as the killer was introduced (didn't know the name or relationship to the victim) I sent my husband a text saying I know who the killer is! My husband was indifferent. Top of the Hour was a great addition to the Poppy McGuire series, very much looking forward to the next one.

Book 3 in this series and I’m still intrigued. This time the morning DJ has been shot and left for dead. He wasn’t a beloved celebrity, his loved to talk politics and we know how crazy people can get over that topic.
This have changed just slightly for our duo. This time there is a love interest for Poppy. Did not see that one coming, I was hoping for the inevitable. They would finally realize that their chemistry is more than just friendship and they would see the other as a potential mate. Both Poppy and Alex are damaged souls and can help the other heal, at least in my opinion.
The writing is still good. The town and the characters have come together to tell wonderful tales full of murder for this duo to spend their time solving. They are good reads and I can’t wait to see where the next book takes me.
