I was surprised how much I loved this author! I am typically not a fan of a cozy mystery ( what I thought it was) but was taken in by the story immediately.  A combination of mystery/thriller with a romance thrown in, this book kept me reading and anxious for the next one in the series.  For those that want a “clean” read this book had no smut or bad language and still felt realistic.  I was invested in each character, even the ones I didn’t like.
