Dying to Read by Lorena McCourtney

Dying to Read by Lorena McCourtney is a fun little novel that was slow to grab my attention, but once I was into the story there was no letting go. Cate Kinkaid is assisting her Private Investigator uncle with a job while he's recovering in the hospital. She has no experience and can't seem to find work elsewhere so she's giving sleuthing a try. How hard can it be to find a woman named Willow to let her know she's got an inheritance coming her way?

Pretty hard once Kate finds a corpse instead.

Throw in a little romance, an ex-fiance, some blackmailers and a whole list of suspects and this little helpful job has Kate in the middle of big-time investigating.

A light easy read, good for a weekend getaway or a long plane ride.

Available August 2012 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

About the book:

Cate Kinkaid is just dipping her toe into the world of private investigating until one of the many résumés she has floating around lands her a real job. All she has to do is determine that a particular woman lives at a particular address. Simple, right? When the big and brooding house happens to contain a dead body, this routine PI job turns out to be anything but simple. Is Cate in over her head?
