Book Review - "Dying to Read"

"Dying to Read" is book 1 in Lorena McCourtney's The Cate Kinkaid files series and this is a book that you do not want to miss!  This book is the first that I have read by this author and I am going to check out her other series as well!

Cate needs a job, so she takes the one that is available, working for her PI uncle.  Cate has no experience and she is promised that her assignment is simple.  However, what turns out to just be a routine address verification turns into an investigation of a mysterious deaths with several possible suspects, a missing young woman, and a man who claims to be an uncle, but is really a former boyfriend and a look-alike whom Cate wants to trust, but is confused by the stories she tells.  When Cate's uncle is in the hospital, Cate finds herself trying to solve this mystery and yet she finds herself in some crazy situations and also in possession of a cat whom has an uncanny ability.  To add more on Cate's plate, she must decide whether to meet up with her ex-fiance and also how must to trust a new man in her life. 

This is a great book! It is a mystery that will keep the reader guessing, but it is funny as well and I just loved the characters!  McCourtney brings the characters and the settings alive with her details and descriptions.  I loved the book club ladies and Cate's experiences with them; I was able to get a really get I am looking forward to book 2 coming out in this series and spending more time with Cate and Mitch!
