Description

With her social life and writing career in tatters at the ripe old age of thirty-five, Sunni Taylor decides to pack up her things and join her sisters, Lana and Emily, in the small town of Firefly Junction. Hoping to open a bed and breakfast, Sunni sets herself the task of refurbishing the rundown Cider Ridge Inn, a two-hundred-year-old house with a sordid past. In the meantime, she's stuck writing dull human interest stories for the Junction Times. But when Sunni decides to bend the rules on her first newspaper assignment, she soon finds herself in her favorite place—right in the center of a murder investigation. Now if she can just steer clear of the cocky, irritating and far too appealing local detective, Brady "Jax" Jackson. 

It isn't long before Sunni discovers that avoiding Jax is a piece of cake compared to staying clear of the equally cocky, irritating and far too appealing two-hundred-year-old ghost haunting the halls of the Cider Ridge Inn. 

Death in the Park is a full-length cozy mystery novel with a fun paranormal twist.

Book 2, Killer Bridal Party is now available!

    I was drawn into the storyline by the mention of Newman and Redford, the dogs. I loved reading about Newman’s love of his tennis ball. I thoroughly got into Sunni’s doggish nature of investigating her story. I’m a bit upset that now I have to go and read all the books in this series to find out what happens next! I can’t wait to find out what happens with the hunky Detective Jackson.
  • Fun read.

    Surprising complications when a beginner journalist wanted to write about a much loved custodian in a small town high school. School dynamics, secret love angles,. Small town politics, topped off by possible haunted homr
  • A good build that deflates by the end.

    The start sets up a good “mystery” in a rich setting with decent characters, but stops there. No personality develops, and worse yet, the conclusion is bland. There is no gripping twist, no mystery. Suddenly, you’re near the end and we wrap up with the worst, strangest ending that doesn’t even fit the rest of this story. Very, very bad.
  • Easy to Read and Follow

    I haven’t read any of London Lovett’s novels before, however this one left a great impression and left me with a subtle urge to read the next in the series (I have never been a series gal). Her writing was well written and easy to follow with beautiful descriptions that never seemed over exaggerated. Only downside I experienced was the slow rising action, the build up of tension to Sunni uncovering the truth behind the murder was not as exciting as I was hoping but rather subtle. The ending was almost just thrown together it seemed in my reading. I did finish this book in 2 days, it had me hooked only wish was there were bigger twists and turns in the plot. This is what I am hoping to find in book #2.

    What’s not to like? We have an inherited antebellum mansion in great need of repairs, a ghost, interesting family and friends, a hunky police investigator, and a small town newspaper reporter as the main character. Additionally to all those characters, there is a murder mystery surrounding the death of a beloved head maintenance man at the local high school. Good story and good characters make for an intriguing new series. Look forward to reading the rest of the series!

    Sunni is forging a new life with the goal of restoring and remodeling a crumbling mansion as well as tackling her new position as reporter for the local paper. The story has interesting characters and a satisfying conclusion. I’m anxious to read the next in the series.
