Review: Someone Cruel in Coyote Creek (The Accidental Detective, #3) by Kris Bock

 

Turning fifty in her childhood bedroom wasn’t on her bucket list…

Kate Tessler is convinced her sister is trying to kill her. In fact, she might prefer death to Jen’s “50 for 50 Challenge,” where Kate will try fifty new things throughout the year she turns fifty. Still adjusting to her new underemployed life back in her childhood home in Phoenix, the last thing Kate wants is to prepare for paddle boarding, especially when she receives an anonymous message claiming that Mayor Todd Paradise is taking bribes. The author claims to have proof, including photos, and challenges Kate to publish the story.

Could good guy Todd, Kate’s almost boyfriend, really be corrupt or is someone trying to set him up? Kate sets out to discover the truth, with help from her multi-generational, unconventional, and often unhelpful crew. She thrived reporting from war zones as an international war correspondent, but can she survive a deadly fundraising party, a close encounter with a taser, a turn at an open mic night, and a 100-pound dog named Whiskers?
 
My Review:  
Full of fun, excitement and witty humor.  
Kate Tessler is about to turn fifty and her sister has fifty new experiences lined up that she wants Kate to try before the big day.  If that wasn’t enough, someone is trying to set up Kate’s friend, mayor Todd Paradise, saying he has been taking bribes.  But when a murder happens at a fundraiser dinner, it becomes a race to find the killer before someone else ends up dead.  
Kate has her hands full in this book.  It is a fun and exciting story and a great addition to The Accidental Detective series.  I enjoyed catching up with Kate, her family and friends in this book.  I enjoyed seeing Kate and Todd become closer in this book too.
