About this listen

Lyla Moody loves her sleepy little town of Sweet Mountain, Georgia. She likes her job as a receptionist for her uncle's private investigative firm, her fellow true-crime obsessed Jane Doe members are the friends she's always wanted, and her parents just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. But recently, with her best friend Melanie on vacation and her ex-boyfriend and horrible cousin becoming an item and moving in next door to her, her idyllic life is on the fritz. The cherry on top of it all is finding Carol, a member of the club, dead and shoved into a suitcase, left at Lyla's front door.

Unusual circumstances notwithstanding, with Carol's heart condition, the coroner rules Carol's death undetermined. But when they discover that the suitcase belongs to Melanie, who had returned from her vacation the following morning, Sweet Mountain police begin to suspect Lyla's best friend. Determined that police are following the wrong trail, Lyla begins to seek out the real killer — that is, until she becomes the one sought after. Now, finding the truth could turn her into the killer's next plot twist....

I enjoyed this book and the only reason for the four stars is because I thought the killer was obvious and knew about half way through the book who it was. Otherwise the author has created a fun series, it kind of reminder me of the Aurora Teagarden mysteries on the Hallmark channel. Especially with the family so set against her belonging to the book club and investigate cold cases. The big difference is Aurora was a nosy Liberian and Lyla works for a private investigator which gives her more scope to investigate. Okay she is only as a secretary but with her uncle out of the office all the time she was the only one investigating or talking to clients. I liked the characters, especially the side kicks as in the best friend and the grandma. I hope the grandma gets more involved in the next case and is not just a buffer between Lula and her prim and proper mother. The mystery was interesting with a serial killer suspected to be in the area and it played out nicely. I will be joining this book club again.

Lyla is appalled to discover her ex boyfriend and cousin have just moved on across the road but that is nothing compared to what she feels when she finds a suitcase on her front step. Her uncle as a private investigator had just gotten a new case, the husband of a friend wants them to find his missing wife but as Lyla only saw her a few hours ago she's not worried. Until she opens the suitcase, instead of finding her best friends missing luggage she finds her missing friend. The same friend who at book club thought she knew one of the victims of a serial killer. Could the killer know she was onto them? There is only one way to find out and get justice for there friend and that's to look into the Jane Doe case but not ever member is happy with that and neither is a killer.
I liked the narrator. She had a pleasant voice that was easy to listen to.
