5.0 out of 5 stars whodunit murder mystery
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2020

NY, NYC. Central Park. Emily Andrews (wife, PI, nee Parker) & Detective Colin Andrews (husband, Paradise Valley PD) were enjoying their honeymoon.
Paradise Valley, ID. Camille Hawthorne (wife, caterer/event planner) had come to tell Emily, Mrs. Francine Beckham (wife/mother) had been murdered in Seattle, WA.
Hollis Beckham (husband/father, Stanford U) had been murdered also.

Sergeant Ernie Kaufmann greeted Detective Andrews at the crime scene.
Officer Sanchez was looking after Elise Beckham (daughter).
It seems Jonathan Hawthorne (Camille’s husband) is a person of interest.
Seattle, WA. Oliver’s restaurant. Emily & Detective Andrews met with Detective Ryan Wilson & Peter McKenzie.

Detective Colin Andrews was interrogating Eric Kinsella (drug trafficker) with his lawyer present.

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written whodunit murder mystery book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great murder mystery movie, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

Thank you for the free author; Lake House Books; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; book

4.0 out of 5 stars Murder mystery
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020
Verified Purchase
I skipped books five and six. I tried of the same angst over and over. I liked the characters loyalty and commitment to the friendships but it was the same thing about Emily not being able to trust because of Evan and Colin not being able to handle her taking risks. Colin really disappointed in not believing Jonathan after expecting every one to believe him with more proof against him. And Camille going for a dirty business no matter what because it was her dream, even risking her marriage. Delia has the same type business, how could that be? Where did the mayor go? What about the files? All the past story lines are dropped and forgotten except the "I can't trust anyone" but I can fall deeply in love after only six months, plus I don't know that lawyers defend guilty clients, I can't help my friends or love until I KNOW they are innocent no matter what they say. Everybody lies to me. Too many dropped threads.

Interesting, intriguing, both are working on a case, she wants to find evidence to clear Jonathan and he to find to convict him. The dream of his wife, Jonathan didn’t want to go thru with the deal. Murder happened, the weapon is unusual, too many players that might be guilty. The why’s could be an old love, that was never forgotten, parents, expectations, revenge, the list is long. The plot flows with tension, you wonder if the newlyweds, will survive, being on opposites sides, they make an agreement Readers will love getting to know Emily and Colin’s and their frends. Looking for more by Debra.

I'm sure others might disagree with this, but there was just something missing in this 7th book in the series. I had read the previous six and gave them five stars. This was ok, but not as compelling as the earlier ones.
Can't really say really what didn't click, but the extremely sensitive touchiness maybe from Emily when she objected to how her new husband had to keep things from her in order to do his own job properly, not sure, but it was still fairly entertaining. I just expected more.

Debra Burroughs Books are OUTSTANDING!!
This is the 7th book in the Paradise Valley Mystery Series.
I Love the characters. They are so relatable. I would SO love to be in this
circle of friendship.
In this book Camille is wanting to enlarge her business, and this place would be an
Amazing place. Her husband Jonathan is not in favor, when it looks like there is something
illegal going on in the warehouse. Jonathan goes to Hollis (the owner who wants to sell),
to talk. Later that night Hollis ends up dead and the main suspect is none other than
Jonathan. Alex, acting as Jonathan's lawyer hires Emily to work with him to find out the
truth. They all are sure that he is innocent, but Colin being a policeman needs proof.
Can Collin and his new wife Emily work together on this case or will this case tear them
apart?
Love this series and hope that there will be more!!
