Contract Pending (Savannah Martin Mystery, #3)

by Jenna Bennett

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and Realtor Savannah Martin is certainly learning the truth of that statement. 

It’s been a month and a half since Rafael Collier left town, and although Savannah knows it would be hideously inappropriate—not to mention supremely stupid—to miss him, she wishes he’d come back soon. His grandmother’s ailing, the nurse he hired to take care of her has disappeared, and somebody is watching the house and following Savannah as she goes about the business of bringing her first real estate transaction to a close. 

But when Rafe comes back, things only go from bad to worse. Resident nurse Marquita Johnson is found murdered, and Metro Nashville Homicide Detective Tamara Grimaldi is asked to handle the case. It doesn’t take long for her to focus her interest, once again, on Rafe. 

Now Savannah has to make the choice between staying safe by accepting her old flame Todd’s proposal, or taking a chance on losing her heart and her life by trying to help Rafe, as the term ‘contract pending’ takes on a whole new meaning.

Reviews

[MurderByDeath]

I'm really enjoying this series and this book is a fast-paced read that held me attention enough for me to read it in one sitting. Ms. Bennett does a terrific job bringing the characters to life, and it was nice to see that Rafe becomes a bit more dimensional in this book; more complicated and more sympathetic. I totally pegged the murderer, but it was still a strong plot and I liked the ending quite a bit. A bit of a cliff-hanger at the end, although it's one that's possibility was introduced in the previous book.

Overall, I enjoyed this book quite a bit.
