Book Review: A Willing Murder #1 - Jude Deveraux

Sara Medlar is a household name in romance, with millions of books sold. But lately, retirement has been boring her and she’s found herself back in her hometown of Lachlan, Florida, remodeling the grand old mansion she’d admired as a child. It’s much too big for her alone, but she’d die before letting anyone in town know that.

Then Sara’s niece Kate is offered a job in Lachlan—a start in what could be a very successful career in real estate. She accepts immediately, but with so little saved up, she’ll have to approach her estranged yet incredibly famous aunt for a place to stay while she gets herself settled. But when she arrives at Sara’s home, she finds she’s not the only long-term houseguest. Jackson Wyatt already has his own room, and though it’s impossible to deny his good looks and charm—he’s clearly got her aunt wrapped around his finger—she’s also never met anyone who irritates her quite like Jack does.

However, when two skeletons are accidentally uncovered in the quiet town, this unlikely trio is suddenly thrust together by a common goal: to solve a mystery everyone else seems eager to keep under wraps. United by a sense of justice and the desire to right old wrongs, Sara, Kate and Jack will have to dig into Lachlan’s murky past to unravel the small town’s dark secrets and work to bring the awful truth to light. 

                          MY REVIEW:

A Willing Murder by Jude Deveraux
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sara Medlar is a romance writer and she has been in retirement but is getting bored. She is remodeling a home she loved as a child. Her niece, Kate, is offered a job in her town and has asked to live with her until she has enough money to get an apartment.
When Kate gets there she finds out she isn't the only guest there. Jackson Wyatt is also living there. Sara has known Jackson just about his whole life. Kate thinks he is using Sara but it seems that things are not what she thought.
Then they accidentally stumble upon 2 skeletons and they turn into sleuths trying to solve the puzzle, because it seems like the town police aren't solving it.
I started reading book 3 of this series and once I realized that it was book 3 then I started this one and will continue on with the series.
