Week 3 Review: Murder With a View

From Goodreads:

Murder With a View is the third book in the delightful cozy mystery series from Diane Kelly set in Nashville, Tennessee—where the real estate market is to die for…

A DREAM PROPERTY

Carpenter Whitney Whitaker, her cousin Buck, and guard-cat Sawdust just scored a hot property near downtown Nashville in a tax sale. While the Music City Motor Court might not be much to look at now, the two plan to transform the motel's twelve units into six one-bedroom condominiums with popular mid-century styling. But surprises await when Whitney discovers a squatter living in Room 9 and her cat Sawdust uncovers a body in the bed next door.

A LIVING NIGHTMARE

The murder victim is none other than Beckett Morgan, an up-and-coming country-western singing sensation who's taken Nashville by storm with his number-one hit "Party in the Pasture." Beckett's left a long trail of broken promises and broken hearts, and the list of suspects seems endless. So does the line of female fans intent on halting the flip and turning the construction site into a shrine for the deceased star. If Whitney and Buck don't help Detective Collin Flynn nail the killer, they'll never be able to clear out the star-obsessed groupies, complete the remodel, and recoup their investment. But just who silenced the singer and why?

My Review:
Yeah, this was another great book in this series! I loved the mystery, taking place in the flip that Whitney imagined doing at the end of the previous book. Which was mirrored at the end of this book with Whitney finding a new property to flip, yeah! Plus we came full circle a bit with a few characters from the first book, yeah! I'm wondering if we'll see anybody from the second book in the 4th?

I really enjoyed this mystery, because hey, they're in Nashville, of course there's going to be a country music murder mystery to solve! And it was so intriguing to read, because there were conflicting messages about who Beckett Morgan was as a person. 

There were a few options as to who the bad guy could be. I loved how Whitney inserted herself into this investigation, because her boyfriend detective had to stretch things a little for her to be invited along on the interviews! So that was fun! 

The way things wrapped up was spectacular! The successful flip, the last-needed clue at the final second, it all came together really well, and was just a pleasure to read! I just had a great time reading this book, as I have this whole series!

This was a really great book, and I can't wait to continue the series!
