LOVE THIS COVER!!

I loved the days when we all rooted for the underdog. Korman is a fantastic writer of friendship tales and this is no different.

It‘s an intricate and well-plotted mystery that will keep you turning pages. Burke maybe tries to do a bit Too Much with it, but she‘s crafted a really fascinating character in Kelsey, the real estate heiress who is widely suspected of murdering her estranged husband.

I love that most chapters begin with a pertinent epigraph from Jane Austin‘s Pride & Prejudice!
Rosalyn Thorne,a “most useful woman”of discretion & societal connections,is hired by Bethany Douglas,an old school friend,ostensively to find her stolen pearl necklace.Bethany‘s multi-generational family,who reside with her, harbor many secrets.Rosalind,with the help of Dec. Adam, has to wade through questions of fraud, blackmail, forgery,& murder.

I am so enjoying this audiobook, a first in a series of mystery novels inspired by Jane Austen. Each chapter begins with a quote from Pride and Prejudice which suggests just what unfolds. #serieslove2025 #jumpstart2025 #Read2025

Overall, 'The Note' is a well-written and engaging thriller with complex characters, a compelling mystery, and a thought-provoking exploration of friendship and betrayal. This is an immersive and addictive novel that is perfect for readers who enjoy suspenseful stories with well-developed characters. The novel has something for everyone who enjoys thrillers or a story that delves into the complexities of female friendships.

Kicked off the new year with a fresh Back Room event! Hosted by authors Hank Phillippi Ryan and Karen Dionne, this event featured authors Alafair Burke, Joseph Finder, Rachel Howzell Hall, and Lisa Williamson Rosenberg. It was an absolute blast listening to these writers chat about books, puzzles, and even their other jobs. I wrote about my experience on my blog.
