Very good read
First, I really enjoyed this book. A couple of nice mysteries to "solve".
It was refreshing to have a heroine who called the police with her clues and problems, rather than forging ahead like the lady in the horror movie who goes into the basement.
Some twists and turns with an ending that allows for sequels.
It was interesting learning a little bit about location scouting for the movies. That was an interesting choice of professions for the main characters.
Now the slightly bad...I don't know if it was the author, the editor or "auto-correct", but there were several instances of incorrect word choice.
Examples: taunt = a remark made to anger. The word the author wanted was taut = pulled tight. She made this error a couple of times.
reign = hold royal office. The word the author wanted was rein = check or guide by pulling.
Yes, I know...I am being a "nit picker", but correct use of language in a book is important. I am frequently on a blog forum and the poor grammar, spelling and lack of correct language is appalling. The author can't fix that, but it would help some readers understand what she is saying.
