Cherry begins this adventure trying to indulge in some rest and relaxation as part of Max’s entourage to Big Rack Lodge for a hog hunting tournament. Max has a side bet with one of the contestants and Cherry has been asked to paint the portrait of the winner. Cherry is enjoying the scenery and working on a landscape when she discovers a body and the rest she deserves is history.
Cherry’s stubbornness and never quit attitude takes us on an adventure with twists and turns, a lot of soggy clothes and very little sleep. Thankfully, she has loyal Todd to help her navigate through the clues because she’s also feeling guilty about her secret relationship with Luke and is reluctant to ask for his help. Cherry puts herself in more danger this time, but picks up a second side-kick named Buckshot. Never underestimate a sassy southern girl with a loyal dog!
Once again, Joan Dukore is fantastic and brings the story to life. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series!
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
