This is a twisted up murder, mystery, It begins when Mercy gets a call from her old friend Pidge (Margaret) someone she hasn't heard from in decades and who is in jail. Mercy heads to the small town of Pleasant View to bail out her friend. The problem is, Pidge is in jail for murder and the people in the town all believe she is guilty. This tales winds, twists and turns as readers hang in to find out the secrets all are hiding and what that has to do with Pidge being accused of murder. This is a good story,I think mystery readers might enjoy.

This is the only book I have read in this series and while it is a stand alone, I wish we had read them in order. The author does a decent job of filling in back story but I always prefer reading a series in order.
The story is good with lots of twists and turns. I had not figured it out. I did enjoy the book and would recommend it.

No Bones About It

Lots of suspense and action. The characters are strong and some completely loony. With all the twists and turns, it was difficult to determine what was happening and who was to blame. I enjoyed the book, thank you gor a good read.
