Astrologer and PI Jo Hughes is at a christening when she receives a call from her oldest friend.
She’s found a body in the cellar of a local pub. And they’ve been dead a while.
Jo has her first case as a solo PI.
The victim is identified as Leah Ellerman, a local landlady who was renovating the canalside cottages opposite the pub. She’s been dead for two weeks. So why hasn’t anyone reported her missing?
Leah was evicting her tenants so she could skyrocket the rent. And this wasn’t taken well by the local community . . .
So it’s not a case of who wanted her dead, but who succeeded.
Jo must watch her back. It’s clear that the culprit will do anything to keep their secrets buried . . .
I loved this book!!! I loved our main character Jo instantly, she has her head screwed on yet seems slightly scatty too and I know how she feels, lol! I also took a liking to Hanni, Jo's friend and thought that Macy seemed an intriguing character.
The storyline had me gripped and I will admit that I thought I had figured out 'who' but not the 'why' so I had to keep reading to find out. I found the pace was great and I found that the chapters just flew by.
As we were getting to the end I was hoping that I would get to read more about Jo and then to my surprise (where have I been I know!!) that this is actually book number 6 in a series!!!! I'm thrilled and have headed to read the Jo and Macy series from the beginning now. If you were wondering if you have to read them in order then the answer is no!!
The latest instalment is released on the 23rd August 2023 and you can get it and the others in the series here
