Serena Manchester #2
Dangerous Confessions
The case from last month is still far from over for private investigator Serena “Rena” Manchester. Not just because she found herself in yet another life threatening situation, but because the fall-out still has not been dealt with by the authorities. Determined to see justice to the end, Rena steps up her investigation along with her young attractive associate.During a surveillance job, Rena runs into a very unpleasant woman from her past life as a reporter. A few hours later, when the woman falls to her death from a beach condo balcony, Rena finds herself switching directions with her investigation. The more she digs into her past news story, the more she starts to see parallels to her current case. Her revelations are drawing her closer and closer to someone who’s not happy about her relentless digging.

Hook-ethd!
I'm always excited to read a good mystery; especially when the heroine is an everyday, lived life experienced, with pit bull determination to arrive at the straight eye-opening truth. If Serena was a real person we'd be BFF mystery solving, business dipping, ear hustling case solving Queens.

I liked part two.
The second story found Serena up to her neck in another case. This time like the others, Serena always seemed to stumble into the mix unknowingly. Amir and Trey will need to coexist in Serena's life.

Was always on edge about her safety and well-being. Will this job prevent her from an active love life? Is she going to wonder back to her old sinful ways? She is under constant pressure.

January 11, 2025Have you ever discovered an author on social media but waited too long to check out their work—only to wonder why you didn’t read them sooner?
For me, that author is Tyora Moody I recently came across her audiobook Dangerous Confessions on the Hoopla app and remembered her name from X. That simple connection, combined with being in the mood for a mystery, led me to check it out. Now I’m heading to Amazon to find Book 1!
About the Book
Dangerous Confessions is Book 2 in the Serena Manchester Mysteries series, and while I started here, it worked perfectly as a standalone. Private investigator Serena “Rena” Manchester is drawn into a case that forces her to revisit an old news story from her days as a reporter, uncovering secrets, corruption, and dangerous connections to her current investigation.
I liked how authentic Rena felt—relentless, determined, and just flawed enough to keep me rooting for her. Add her tech-savvy associate Amir to the mix, and I couldn’t stop listening. The small-town setting with big secrets made for a suspenseful and satisfying story.
If you enjoy clean, fast-paced mysteries with strong characters, I’d recommend you give this author a try.

"Dangerous Confessions" by Tyora Moody
My Assessment:
We are given by this author another good mystery about the now private investigator Serena' Rena' Manchester. What will be on this next journey as Rena, while on a surveillance job, runs into an 'unpleasant woman from her past life as a reporter and ends up falling to her death from a beach condo balcony.' What will happen as it seems the authorities think Raee may know something since she had talked with this woman earlier?
However, from this news, Rae 'finds herself switching directions from her previous investigation,' and by doing this, it seems like there is some connection from a past new story. Will Rae and Amir [her sidekick] be able to find out what all is going on as the story seems to parallel quite a bit from her current case? As people continue to be murdered, it is worth finding out what is going on in this case.
All that's left is for the reader to sit back and take it all in as these two continue to investigate and get to the bottom of what is going on in this intriguing mystery story.

You go, Serena
Yet again, I enjoyed Serena delving into another case and truly caring about the people she is helping. I loved this story even more than the first. Keep the stories coming, Ms. Moody!

I totally enjoyed both novels. They were very detailed, interesting, exciting, and informative. I love these mysteries and could hardly wait to read until the end. The characters were realistically portrayed. I was thrilled that Rena and Trey finally united. Oh how I hope they have twins!

Excellent read
Excellent read, I enjoyed the characters and storyline. Serena Manchester and her associate Amir stumbled upon another mystery during an investigation. Corruption, murder and ties to Serena’s old cases when she was a reporter, make for an lively mystery.
