Author: Kate Young
Publication: 6 October 2020
Format: Kindle ebook
Amazon Description:
The Jane Doe book club enjoys guessing whodunit, but when murder happens in their midst, they discover solving crimes isn't fun and games...
Lyla Moody loves her sleepy little town of Sweet Mountain, Georgia. She likes her job as receptionist for her uncle's private investigative firm, her fellow true crime obsessed Jane Doe members are the friends she's always wanted, and her parents just celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary. But recently, with her best friend Melanie on vacation, and her ex-boyfriend and horrible cousin becoming an item and moving in next door to her, her idyllic life is on the fritz. The cherry on top of it all is finding Carol, a member of the club, dead and shoved into a suitcase, left at Lyla's front door.
Unusual circumstances notwithstanding, with Carol's heart condition, the coroner rules Carol's death undetermined. But when they discover the suitcase belongs to Melanie, who had returned from her vacation the following morning, Sweet Mountain police begin to suspect Lyla's best friend. Determined that police are following the wrong trail, to clear her friend's name, and to not allow Carol become one of the club's studied cold cases, Lyla begins to seek out the real killer. That is, until she becomes the one sought after. Now, finding the truth could turn her into the killer's next plot twist, unless she wins the game of cat and mouse.

Ramble-y Teaserish Stuff
I decided to take a peek at NetGalley for the first time in ages thinking that it might help get back into the swing of things. The jury is still out on how well it will work, but at least I was able to nab the second book in Kate Young's Jane Doe Book Club Mystery series ... which, of course, then gave me a good excuse to hop onto Amazon and grab the first.

Heaven forbid I ever read anything out of order if I can help it.
I'm only 27% in at this point so there isn't much to really ramble about, but so far I'm enjoying it and I'm already glad that I won't have to wait until next month to read the next one.
