Small Town, Workplace, Romantic Suspense

Romantic suspense and small town are the recipe for a great book, at least for me, and this one is no exception. Miranda and Joel were intriguing characters investigating a case that had me guessing till the big reveal on who the culprit was. Laura Griffin has a great writing style that makes is very easy to become invested in the story and the characters she writes are a great example of that.

Miranda Rhoads, a former forensic photographer turner nature photographer is out working early one morning when she comes across what appear to be a sleeping couple in a canoe. However, the closer she gets she realizes they aren't sleeping. Lead detective on the case, Joel Breda, is immediately intrigued by Miranda, an eyewitness who appears to be completely collected after finding a dead couple. Of course, upon closer examination, she might not be as unaffected by what's she's seen as he thought. And when the department is in desperate need of forensic help and the bodies keep piling up, Joel and Miranda will need to work together to solve the case.

I really enjoyed how the relationship between Miranda and Joel developed and the way they worked together throughout the case. I love that Joel was completely open to Miranda's thoughts and opinions and I love the way he wanted to protect her throughout. The pacing of the entire book worked really well for me and the way Miranda's backstory was revealed was done really well. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series and more from this author.

This is one I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the following.

✔️ Workplace Romance
✔️ Small Town
✔️ Mystery/Suspense
✔️ Law Enforcement Hero
✔️ Protective Hero
✔️ Third Person POV

Worth the sale price. Good story.

I really enjoyed the story overall. Narration was good. Minus 2 stars for repetitive sex scenes. Not my jam. For me it took away from the seriousness of the entire story. And it seemed the sex scenes were all exactly the same: graphic descriptions followed by regret. Overall I enjoyed the mystery and characters.

A good mysteru

A good mystery that remained unsolved until the end. The narration is excellent with a pleasant voice.

Not my favorite narration

I love all of Laura Griffins books. This one was good but sometimes too sappy. I enjoyed the story and plot but the narration wasn't my favorite.

Characters

So good! Loved the people in the book. Not too impressive with the Chief but really Enjoyed Joel and Maranda!

Wow

Great characters, storyline, plot twists. This book had it all. The narration was well done too.

Not my vibe

I liked the first novel in the series better. For me this was too relationship/romance driven & didn’t follow the story of the investigation well. It was more of a romance novel with a “mystery” as a side storyline. This series had some potential for me & I wanted to like to novel, alas, Texas murder files should be renamed to Texas Romance with a hint of murder.

Not my cup of tea

The narrator sounded bored with the story as I was. Sappy love story very little plot.

Sappy love story interferes with mystery

I was looking for a new series, but this isn't it. The love story interferes with the pace of the mystery. I had to skip chapters to avoid listening to it.
