Susan May Warren is a masterful storyteller with a “sugar voice”. If you know me, you know that I simply adore her voice and style of writing. She pulls you in from the first word. And colorful. A few quotes:
Davy grinned at her, the frosting from an oatmeal cookie wedged in his teeth. Roughage. That’s what she’d call it.
Pizza. PJ needed a deep-dish pepperoni–and fast.
The back-cover copy : PJ Sugar knows three things for sure:
After traveling the country for ten years hoping to shake free from the trail of disaster that’s become her life, she needs a fresh start.
The last person she wants to see when she heads home for her sister’s wedding is Boone—her former flame and the reason she left town.
Her best friend’s husband absolutely did not commit the first murder Kellogg, Minnesota, has seen in more than a decade.
What PJ doesn’t know is that when she starts digging for evidence, she’ll uncover much more than she bargained for—a deadly conspiracy, a knack for investigation, and maybe, just maybe, that fresh start she’s been longing for.
A great set up for a romantic suspense novel! And sure enough, Susan doesn’t disappoint. Her style of writing is natural. She creates tons of conflict and connects all the dots. The scene endings forced me to read many more chapters than I ever expected to on many a night! A must-read!
See the first chapter here.
The second book in the series, is Double Trouble. And Susan has a “got sugar” website here!
