A first book in a new series always calls to me. What is this new world? Can I settle right in? Will these characters become friends? A first book in a new series is always an open invitation I can never pass up, and this book opened the door to a place I'd love to spend more time in. The characters were equally as charming, I loved Lyla's granny (would love to see her more as Lyla's partner in crime...well, crime fighting) and I'm looking forward to seeing where Lyla goes from here.
As for the plot, it was packed with intrigue and tension, from the discovery of Carol's body to the threats and red herring to the thrilling ending, it made for a can't-put-it-down roller coaster ride. I admit, this was one of those books where I would decide on the likely culprit but the red herrings always pulled me off the scent. I love books that do that!
Overall, an excellent introduction to the folks in Sweet Mountain, GA and I'm looking forward to reading more!
