Whiskey Chaser

It's one of my goals to read all of Lucy Score's books. They don't disappoint. Scarlett is the youngest Bodine sibling, the only girl and the one who found her dad dead in his bed a few weeks ago following a lifetime of drinking. Devlin is hiding out in his gran's house following his separation from his wife (she cheated) and looking to rebuild his political career when the dust settles (he punched the guy she was cheating with). Devlin's trying to enjoy the peaceful rural West Virginian town of Bootleg Springs but his neighbour's having a party. He goes over to complain and finds out his neighbour is Scarlett. He didn't stand a chance. Scarlett worked with her daddy and so is the town handywoman and starts to fix up Devlin's house whilst his gran and her partner are on holidays.
In addition to falling for her neighbour the feisty Scarlett has also been dropped in it by her 3 older brothers to clear out their dad's house. Their mum died in a car accident years ago. Whilst clearing out his bedroom she finds the red cardigan of Callie who went missing 12 years ago. Some people think she ran away, others think she's dead. Small towns love gossip.
This was close to perfect - small town America, murder mystery that spans the series, and all the Bodine brothers.

3.5

Not sure what it is, but I'm not a huge fan??? I'll give the next book a chance though.
