Description

The coastal Oregon town of Rainbow Falls might be sleepy, but it’s definitely not innocent...

When graphic designer and true crime fan Annie Abbott agrees to house sit her parents’ home for a year, she’s convinced that even though the small town has ten coffee shops, nothing exciting will happen. But that’s before a seemingly feral cat gives birth in her garage, prompting a call to the very handsome, very single town vet. It’s a dream meet-cute, but just as their romance blooms, Annie discovers the bloody body of her grumpy neighbor. And despite the fact that she passes out at the sight of blood, the police suspect her.

To clear her name, Annie will need to put her years of watching police procedurals and reading mysteries to good use. She’ll also need to rely on her new friends who have welcomed her to Rainbow Falls, but is one of them the killer?

    I really enjoyed reading this book. The two main characters were entertaining with their banter & mutual attraction. There were some interesting subplots & I didn’t know who “dunnit” until the reveal at the end.

    Home is Where the Body Is is the first book in the very promising new series Wannabe Sleuths by Jody Holford. With the requisite foundation of a small town with quirky characters, simmering tensions, and suspicious circumstances, the story is captivating at its onset. Especially pleasing was the often witty and humorous banter, smart and rapidly moving dialog, and the dynamic relationships that gave the mystery its own level of curiosity. With perfectly placed and timed clues and misdirections, the culprit was never a given and came as a complete surprise at their reveal. Since Jody Holford is new to me author, I find myself wanting to go back to her previous books/series and further acquaint myself with her writing as I await the next installment of this series. This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.
