Review
The Art of Love and Murder is the
perfect summer read to grab while the weather is hot. Brenda Whiteside ropes
you in and will have you not wanting to move from your spot until you finish
every last page. Being an Arizonan, I love reading about towns that I have been
to; this makes the story seem more realistic. The Art of Love and Murder is the tale of Lacy Dahl and the mystery
surrounding her birth parents and artifacts left to her. On the hunt for these
answers, she encounters the sexy Sheriff Chance Meadowlark, who seems to be in
the right place at the right time. Lacy and Chance have an understating and
compassion for each other through shared experiences that life has dealt them.
As much as Chance wants to keep his distance from Lacy, these two seem to cross
paths constantly. Undeniable attraction with an unraveling mystery is what made
me a fan of The Art of Love and Murder. Brenda Whiteside kept the story going with a
perfect build up to the climax. With new dangers and even more questions than
either could have thought to ask, you will be drawn in and won’t be able to put
this book down. The Art of Love and
Murder is a great weekend read and I would highly suggest this book to any
one looking for that high suspense page turner. I give this book a Loved It
rating.
About Brenda
Brenda spends half her time writing stories of discovery and love. The other half is spent tending vegetables on the small family farm she shares with her husband, son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Together, they’ve embraced an age-old lifestyle that has been mostly lost in the United States - multiple generations living under one roof, who share the workload, follow their individual dreams and reap the benefits of combined talents. Although she didn’t start out to write romance, she’s found all good stories involve complicated human relationships. She’s also found no matter a person’s age, a new discovery is right around every corner. Whether humorous or serious, straight contemporary or mystery, all her books revolve around those two facts.
