Is it true that: Murder Runs in the Family by Tamara Berry

#murderrunsinthefamily #NetGalley

NOTE THAT ON 15 AUGUST, THIS TITLE IN E BOOK FORMAT IS UNDER THREE DOLLARS

Expect the unexpected in this fun debut to, what I hope, is a new series by Tamara Berry. It offers some eccentricity, a good story line and some unexpected events, all within the traditional(ish) mystery genre.

Amber must be feeling pretty desperate. She leaves home in the middle of the night and, although well below age, escapes to a community for older adults. Probably desperate to go here and to meet up with a relative she doesn’t even know. And, what about that tortoise? Add murder to the mix and the story is on its way. Lucky Amber has had some PI training.

This title is definitely worth a look and seems perfect for these lazy summer days.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this title. All opinions are my own.

Kirkus Reviews says: A knockout series debut from a veteran author with street cred in both mystery and romance…Despite Berry’s breezy tone and drop-dead-funny japes at Seven Ponds and its eccentric residents and staff, she tells a heartrending tale of how complicated families can be.” ― Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
