This was the third and final book I grabbed on the last trip to WHPL.
I'm able to overlook the ridiculous romance scene. It was eye roll worthy.
That being said, I was surprised how much I liked this, being that it's beach-read murder-mystery romance.
5 women create an investment club (which, at first at least, is just an excuse to eat munchies and drink). Then one goes missing and another is murdered. Then a third is nearly murdered and a 4th goes into hiding. The missing one's stepsister Charlotte and the deceased one's family PI Max meet and begin to investigate what is really going on. Going back and forth between the cities and rural Pacific Northwest, these ladies might be up to much more than trying a make a bit of side money.
This is a story with many twists and turns. I did "figure it out" fairly early, but again, this isn't deep reading.
I also think this is going to be book 1 in trilogy. Max happens to have 2 foster brothers who are mentioned just enough to make you wonder about their stories (intentionally I believe).
Overall, a good quick read without a lot of thought required. If the sequels come to fruition, I'd probably read them, but not actively seek them out.
