Information sur l'oeuvreA Cutthroat Business par Jenna Bennett
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  soulsin | Feb 14, 2023 |    ) Grandy | Apr 24, 2016 | I'm looking forward to reading additional books in this series, as I think it's one that can go far. (  ) murderbydeath | Sep 20, 2014 |  ) claireh18 | Feb 16, 2014 | Savannah drove to the house, which was listed for almost $250,000, and discovered that she knew the client from high school. He was a couple grades ahead of her, looked fantastic, and was one of the bad kids. When she tried to get the key from the lockbox, it was missing, but she discovered that one of the doors was open. The house was very neglected but she showed him around, starting with the rooms on the second floor. When they got to the first floor, they found Brenda, lying in a pool of blood with her throat cut. There are a lot of people who didn’t like Brenda including her colleagues and her family. For various reasons, Savannah tries to find out who murdered her. Along the way, another one of the staff is found dead, questions arise about the legality of some of the real estate sales made by Brenda, and Savannah’s mother tries to get Savannah back with a high school boyfriend. The story moves rather well. The plot is somewhat predictable: one woman, two men from different economic classes, and assorted lying and confusion by some of the characters. Jenna Bennett brings up racism and homophobia with a bit of stereotyping for the latter. It’s one of a series and I may read some of the others.

All I can say is, this book surprised me. I am a variety reader so I pick any book to read hoping it is good. This book blew me away because it was full of southern charm and hilarious one-liners. The one thing that kept me entertained was the hilarious flirtatious moments between Savannah and Rafe. It is so innocent and cute but we are still reading a mystery and suspense novel here, so stick with me, kids.
This is a murder mystery, and it kept true to it.
The Realtor turned Nancy Drew haha.
Oh yeah, all the critical reviews on the grammars? I did not see too many to give it 3 stars. There was creativity in the way the book was told so if you were actually reading the story, you’d understand that the grammars were written as spoken. Southern accent.
I’ll be reading Savannah’s Murder Mystery #2: Hot Property.
