romance…. Lauren has a great way of balancing this without taking away
from the story. We have well-developed characters, that you can’t help
but feel a connection to. I loved Nikki’s character but also her
connections to her hometown, her family and her lost love. – review by Working Mommy Journal

Folks in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, claim that where Nikki Bryant goes,
trouble is not far behind. Her refusal to back down from a challenge has
made Nikki Bryant a top investigative journalist.
When an online friend nudges her to join him in a pact to reconnect with
their first loves, Nikki and her boxer dog Elmo leave the bright lights
of Las Vegas for the charming town of Pine Grove. There, she must face
the biggest challenges in her career and life—the first love she had
left behind and her father’s unsolved murder.
But before she has time to unpack her car, Nikki stumbles upon the dead
body of local news anchor, Ashleigh Addison, her childhood rival. Could
Ashleigh’s death be connected to an explosive news story that she had
teased about airing live? Did that explosive story have anything to do
with the murder of Nikki’s father?
With the clues in her father’s cold case hot again, Nikki intends to
chase down the story of her life until she catches his killer—no matter
what it takes.

mystery by author Lauren Carr. It has all the elements that draw me in –
an intelligent female lead, an equally smart boyfriend who partners to
help her, a complicated plot where clues are slowly revealed, people who
aren’t what they seem to be, comedic moments to balance the darker
ones, and several quirky pets full of personality.
It’s a wonderful book to escape into at the end of the day. And get
ready to read into the wee hours as, if you’re like me, you won’t be
able to stop reading until the mystery is revealed. – Marilyn R. Wilson, Olio by Marilyn

One spring morning, Jodi Gibbons got up and went to school as she did
every day. Her young life went sideways though when the police found
that her mother had been brutally killed during the night.
Twenty years later, many in Pine Grove believe Jodi got away with
murder. After all, how could she have possibly slept through her
mother’s violent death in the very next room?
After decades of silence, Jodi accepts investigative journalist Nikki
Bryant’s invitation to tell her side of the story. However, before the

Now it is up to Nikki Bryant and her friends to uncover the secret that
Jodi Gibbons has been protecting—a secret someone believes it is worth
