Publisher's summary

She can run, but she can't hide.

When Evie Parker, Countess of Woodridge, decides to spend a day in London unaccompanied she has no idea she will encounter the one person she has hoped to spend the rest of her life avoiding. There's no escaping Isabel Fitzpatrick's exuberant energy and desire to show off her new husband. However, the encounter sets off a series of events and brings trouble right to Evie's doorstep.

Even when Evie manages to return to her country house in Berkshire, she finds the only way to avoid her childhood friend is to flee by joining a car rally group, but trouble pursues her and now a man has died under suspicious circumstances. Stranded in a small village with a group of bright young things and a killer, Evie and her bodyguard, Tom Winchester, assist Scotland Yard Detective Inspector O'Neill to unmask the mastermind behind a drug trafficking ring. A difficult task when everyone seems to be hiding something.

Murder, Mayhem and Mystery

This is my second book by this author and I do appreciate her turn of an intricate, cleanly written mystery. However, I do not like the appearance of the heroine of the story being slightly scattered brained with her counter-part male being so, so sarcastically smart. Not one of my favorite scenarios. Will think twice about reading a third book by same.

Couldn't finish

Two of this series showed up on Plus, so I gave them a try. Not for me. Is there such a thing as too cozy?

By the first few sentences, I was already checked out of this book. The main character (Evie) is really vanilla, hard to like or dislike her. When another key character is introduced and is immediately irritating, it became impossible for me to pay much attention. Even when Evie is in a tight spot, I didn't care enough to finish.

I do enjoy the narration, Pearl Hewitt does a good job switching genders and age and accents. I especially like her take on Henrietta, Evie's grandma. She's the one character that does have personality and backbone, but she just isn't given enough spotlight.
