About this ebook

Nothing bad ever happens in Ponderosa Pines

That’s what anonymous gossip columnist Chloe LaRue and her best friend, town matriarch EV Torrence thought. But then, Luther Plunkett, a handyman with aspirations, raises a stink over building regulations, and promptly turns up dead.

Small-town mysteries have a way of snowballing out of control for someone who has been seen arguing with the now-deceased in front of the entire town.

Before the body gets cold, EV becomes suspect #1 in the murder, and not even Chloe can stop the rumor mill from churning. Not since the founders argued over naming it Ponderosa Valley after a ranch on an old TV show, or Whispering Pines for the trees surrounding it have the residents of Ponderosa Pines been so divided.

Against Detective Nate Harper and Deputy Dalton Burnsoll’s orders, Chloe and EV mount their own investigation—but what they uncover might just rock the community to its very core. Could one of their own beloved citizens really be a killer?

If you like humorous cozy mysteries set in Maine, and quirky characters, Ponderosa Pines is the place for you!

The only flaw is the introduction of bit characters who seem likely to feature in a future book in the series. Some are so interesting you want to follow them as they wander out of this story.

I really loved the book. There were so many possible outcomes. I had actually finished the book before I really knew what the title meant. All through the book it didn't make sense to me. Wow what a surprise ending. But there is still so much to be found out.

Expected the line '...if it weren't for them pesky kids...' to be in the final few pages! Ridiculous story development and clunky dialogue. Several hours of my life reading this book I'll never get back! Do yourself a favour and read the back of a cereal box.
