Series Name: Nashville Mystery #3
Genre: Traditional
Release: July 5, 2022
Travel agent Campbell Hale’s first boyfriend is back in Nashville for their high-school reunion – but murder, rather than love, is in the air . . .
Travel agent Campbell Hale might be flying solo at her twentieth-year school reunion, but that doesn’t mean she’s looking for love. Her almost boyfriend, homicide detective Sam Davis, has stood her up, with the terrible excuse that he has a murder to investigate.
So when she runs into her high-school sweetheart, Franklin “Fly” Young, who makes a point of telling her his marriage is in trouble, she’s not interested – but she can’t help but feel nostalgic. And more to the point, Fly is now a tech millionaire, and he has good news: he’d like her to take on his company’s travel account.
But then Campbell discovers the identity of Detective Davis’ murder victim: Fly’s company accountant. Was his death connected to the company, or is it a terrible coincidence? Soon Campbell is caught up in a nightmare – with her whole life on the line . . .
Dru’s Short Musing:
In her latest adventure, Campbell goes to her high school reunion and runs into her old boyfriend. Little did she know that encounter would plague her.
The author did a great job in staging this well-honed mystery with enough intrigue that kept me immersed in all that was happening. A murder and a missing person are at the forefront in the telling of this tale. How Campbell fits in, let’s just say Campbell is as Campbell does which brings about mischief and mayhem. The narrative was visually descriptive with dialogue that moved the story forward. I like how the story was told keeping me guessing and when I thought I knew what was going on, the author changed direction all to better my reading pleasure. Overall, I enjoyed this book and hope there is a fourth one coming.
