Claire Layton owner the Harvest Bistro
and loves what she does, what she doesn’t love is finding a dead body in her
dumpster. And what she really doesn’t love is the killer calling her on the
phone demanded that she finds the dead girls cell phone and flash driver or
Claire will be the next one to turn up dead.
Jake Warrick a cocky, really good
looking, hot-shot private investigator from the city rolls into town, hired by
the victim’s father to make sure the small town sheriff, who just so happens to
be Claire’s brother finds the killer.
All Jake wants to do is solve the
case and get the hell out of that hick town as soon as possible but the equally
sassy, and attractive Claire turns his plans upside down and inside out.
Together the two of them realize there is more to this murder than meets the
eye. Hopefully they can find the killer before its lights out for Claire.
What a great way to start off a new
series. This one had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I loved was how
realistic it was, I mean if it isn’t sci-fi make it real. And that is exactly
what Ms. Flynn did. I could actually see things happening the way it was
described. I enjoyed reading about Claire, she was sassy, spunky, tough,
independent, yet at the same time she was still a girl and also vulnerable. The
thing I really loved was the family element through it all. Coming from a
really close family, it’s important to me, so I loved the way Claire and her
three brothers were around each other. The banter between them was funny and
cute.
The intense chemistry between
Claire and Jake was pure fire; it was hot and had a lot of steam. What I really
appreciated was the fact that Claire and Jake weren’t one of those couple who
stress the whole book about how independent they are and how they can’t give up
a little independence to be with the other person. Up A Dry Creek was a
good read and it just flowed really well, there was never a dull moment. The
plot was jam packed with twists and turns, the sexual tension was hot enough to
burn through the pages. The ending was good and I look forward to reading the
next books.

So glad you liked Up a Dry Creek! And you're right it wouldn't have been the same without Claire's entire family putting in their two cents worth - constantly. :)
ReplyDeleteI love a good mystery thriller and romance and from the review I am going to love this book.
ReplyDeleteI also like when there is a family element that recurs through the book to get a lot of background to characters.
