A Countdown Murder: A New Year Mystery Novella
Freedom Daniels is at her wit’s end with clearing up relationship rumors and dodging the press. Landing the coveted lead role in a ‘90s action reboot should have been cause for celebration. But when her co-star-turned-boyfriend reveals that he brought his mother, her number one hater, to their debut cast party, her night couldn’t get any worse.
Sous chef Bishop Wallace has prepared all his life for this moment. After spending the last four years honing his craft on bustling cruise ships, the exclusive Alphas pre-production cast party means a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove himself. But nothing could prepare him for the moment he’d run into his high school crush, now an investigative reporter, Jasmine ‘Mouse’ Jacobs.
When Freedom has a dangerous allergic reaction, Bishop gets fired, ruining his chances at elevating his career. And when Mouse discovers a dead body on board the six-hundred-foot superyacht, they realize a sinister plan is at play, and Freedom’s life hangs in the balance.
Will Freedom finally stand in her truth, or will her humility cost her everything? Can Freedom, Mouse, and Bishop find the killer before they strike again?

interesting
Not exactly what I was expecting, but it did keep me entertained. The story was a bit chaotic and I think I would’ve preferred to include a POV for Mouse since she seemed to play a large roll in solving the mystery, but it was a quick and eventful read.

This entry took awhile to pickup but when it did it moved fast. The ending felt a bit rushed and the reason for the murder felt a bit wide open for interpretation. Either way Princess was funny reminding everyone trying to play detective when there's a dead person is not the look. Thank goodness Mouse was there to see everything and put the prices together and I would read a series about her solving crimes.
CN: slut shaming, murder, allergic reaction, microagressions, attempted murder
