Preparing to survive a typical day of being Digby's friend wasn't that different from preparing to survive the Apocalypse
When Digby first shows up on her doorstep, Zoe Webster is not impressed. He's rude, he's smart, and he doesn't take 'no' for an answer. But before she knows it, Digby has dragged her into a series of hilarious and dangerous situations all related to an investigation into the kidnapping of a girl from their high school. A kidnapping that may be connected to the tragic disappearance of his own sister eight years ago.
Peppered with razor-sharp dialogue, this is a romance that is decidedly unromantic, a crime novel where catching the crook isn't the only hook, and a debut novel you won't forget.
Note:I received a finished copy for free from a local distributor in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Initial thoughts: Hilarity in the midst of a mystery book without being a parody must be difficult to integrate as an author. Stephanie Tromly pulled it off well in Trouble is a Friend of Mine. The book was entertaining and at the same time kept me guessing what would happen next. Some twists were so unrealistic, they were thoroughly slapstick and yet it still came naturally to me to suspend my disbelief. I'm just sad that the main mystery to me wasn't solved, so I didn't get the satisfactory closure that I had hoped for.
