Poppy McGuire has always been a curious soul, but it's her life that's usually the topic of conversation in the small town of Sunset Ridge. But now one of the town's most important citizens has been found murdered, and everyone's life is suspect.

What begins as a friendly wager with her old friend Officer Derek Hampton soon becomes far more for Poppy, and she turns to Alex Montero for help, but the enigmatic former Baltimore cop's quiet way hides as many secrets as each suspect they encounter.

Everyone in Sunset Ridge has something to hide, but Poppy and Alex are determined to uncover the identity of the murderer. They just have to watch that they don't become the next victims.

Ratings and reviews

I was pretty put-off by the talk of snobbery in the beginning but the story does evolve. After that it's just okay. Not great. I found myself reading it so I could get it over with and move on.

A nice read involving small town living, small police department solving a rare murder of one of its citizens. Story line was good and not predictable so kept you interested. A hint of romance. Fun read.

This was a great read. I really enjoyed the characters in this story. I was really rooting for them. This book had a lot of interesting twists and turns. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. It was very hard to put down. Awesome book!
