Small town newspaper reporter Irene Stenson gets an email from her former best friend Pamela that she wants to meet with her- that she has information about her parents' murders from when they were teens. Irene doesn't want to return to her hometown, but she wants the information, so she goes.
Irene meets former marine special forces soldier Luke Danner when she rents a cabin at his summer rental place. He likes her sassiness, and can't help but follow her when she goes out to do her errands. When Irene goes to meet up with Pamela, she finds her dead in what appears to be a suicide. The police chief and Pamela's father (a senator who wants to run for president) are quick to want to sweep everything under the rug- which causes Irene to investigate with Luke's help.
I was entertained enough by the story to keep reading, but the whole time I just kept wondering, 'Do people really do this? Go out and investigate on their own?' Things eventually wrapped up with Irene figuring everything out and Luke having to save her from the story's villain- typical romantic suspense story. Not a bad afternoon read.
