Official Summary
11 April 2023
This author has been on my wish list for a while and this is the first time I have read/listened to one of her books. I am happy to say I enjoyed this book and I am eager to start the next Jenna Morgan book.
This crime thriller will keep you guessing as the author draws you into this crime mystery tale and keeps you intrigued from start to finish. This book does not have a single dull moment and you will have your heart stolen by Domino, the Dalmatian.
I enjoyed how the author keeps you gripped with this story. There really isn’t a single dull moment in this book. You are quickly hooked and even when you are convinced that you know who took Fliss, you are not sure until the very end. The author manages to keep drop hints along the way while keeping you curious. I am excited to start the next book in the Jenna Morgan series, I have it ready and waiting.
Jenna has looked after her little sister for as long as she can remember. Sometimes she is a little hard on Fliss, but Fliss seems to have a talent for getting herself in trouble. When Fliss goes missing and her dog – Domino – is found seriously injured, Jenna is determined to find her alive. Even if she is not allowed to investigate, she will not leave it alone. Where is Fliss? Will Jenna be able to find her in time? And who is the woman found dead where Fliss was last seen?
This was an enjoyable crime mystery that kept me intrigued right to the end. I liked the relationship between these sisters and the addition of Domino to the story just warmed my heart.
These sisters are brilliant characters. Fliss who manages to get herself into trouble adds a lighter touch to the story and her love for Domino makes her a warm loving character. Jenna as a police officer has developed a hard exterior. At first, she seems harsh and cold, yet as the story unfolds her softer side is revealed and you see that she is a woman who takes her role as a police officer and big sister very seriously. I look forward to learning more about her in the next book.
This one will be added to my loved list for the year and I cannot wait to start the next book – Someone’s There. Keep an eye out, I will add a review for that one soon.
If you enjoy a gripping crime, or mystery read with little clues dropped along the way while keeping you guessing then you will enjoy this book and I recommend if you haven’t yet, that you add this to your TBR.

I have not had nearly as much time for audiobooks this month, but I am hoping to fix that soon. Do you enjoy audiobooks? I will always prefer reading the book, but audiobooks have been great for adding additional books to my TBR as I can get other tasks done while listening.
