Juniper Bean has big plans for her writing career. Swoony kisses, sigh-inducing happily ever afters—she’s going to write them all.

There’s just one problem: she can’t seem to stop killing off her main characters.

After accepting that a genre change is in order, Juniper sets out to do some research. What’s the best way to carry a dead body? How exactly does one pick a lock? Juniper is going to find out—with the unwilling help of her new roommate, Aiden.

But Juniper’s plans go haywire when she stumbles across an actual, real-life dead body—and before she knows it, she and Aiden are thrust into the middle of a murder mystery that seems suspiciously tied to Juniper’s past.

Who killed the girl in the woods? Can Juniper ever get the hang of mystery writing? And, perhaps the biggest question of all: Why the heck does Aiden look so good in a tweed jacket?

I’ve had this book for a while and finally read it while on vacation — what was I waiting for?

This has all the elements of a Hallmark mystery/romance, but with a more realistic personal struggle. It does have a few flashbacks, but I didn’t mind (which is a big deal for me!) because I fell in love with the character so quickly and completely that I wanted to know more about the characters, even if it meant going to the past.

One particularly fun aspect of this book is the quirky hero. He’s not an alpha but not really a beta either–he’s particular, but not autistic. He’s a fun, swoony hero to root for.

So far, I’ve loved all of Gracie Ruth Mitchell’s books–I can’t wait for the next one!
