Falling for Murder: another adventure in Bobwhite Mountain!

Falling for Murder by Jamie Rutland Gillespie is the second book in the Bobwhite Mountain Cozy Mystery series. It’s early fall in Bobwhite Mountain, Tennessee and Landry Burke loves being a part of the little town. She has thrived with her inherited businesses and made great new friends. Her relationship with Adam grows into something more and she gets a surprise visit from an old friend. But soon, the peaceful atmosphere of the town is shattered when a local woman goes missing and later found dead. As the investigation gets under way, two more local girls go missing and everyone fears the worst. Can the murderer be found? Will the two missing girls be found before it’s too late? 

Falling for Murder is a fun follow-up to Inheriting Murder. My one complaint is the Ms. Millie character. While I understand she is supposed to be outspoken and outlandish, she was irritating as the story progressed. I commend Landry for her devotion to her friendship with Ms Millie as a way to honor her aunt. I was glad to see that Ms Millie has a piece of humble pie during the course of the story. Overall, I enjoyed the story. I enjoyed the mystery and its resolution. I am looking forward to the rest of the series. I even loved the inclusion of Landry’s recipes and will try a few. I recommend Falling for Murder


Falling for Murder is available in paperback and eBook

Two Girls Down: a thriller which will keep you guessing

Two Girls Down by Louisa Luna is a mystery thriller that becomes a race against time as two girls disappear without a trace. The story opens with Jamie Brandt, a struggling single mother, taking her two daughters, Kylie, 10 years old, and Bailey, 8 years old, to a birthday party. She stops quickly at a local store for a birthday present and leaves her daughters in the car. When she returns, the girls are gone. The family hires private investigators, Alice Vega and Max “Cap” Caplan, to find the girls when it becomes obvious that the local police are overwhelmed with the investigation. Soon Vega and Cap are hot on the girls’ trail, following every clue while battling hostilities from the police department. When the trail leads to the most unlikely place, they must race to save the girls. Will they find them in time? Will the girls be returned alive?


Two Girls Down is a suspenseful hunt with many twists and turns that will keep the reader on his or her toes. Every clue is important and the hints will keep the reader guessing until the very end. While I can’t talk about a lot of details in the book, as it would give away too much, I loved each and every character from the hostile cops to the seemingly minor characters. I especially loved the chemistry and camaraderie between Vega and Cap. It was great to see how their relationship builds and how they become a seamless team. I look forward to more books featuring these two. It is a great book that I highly recommend. If you love mysteries, this is a book for you.
