6.5.2022 - Her Dying Day

Her Dying Day by Mindy Carlson 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for gifting me a digital copy of the debut novel by Mindy Carlson - 4.5 stars!

Pear Blossom Jubilee Masterson was raised in upstate New York by hippie parents who sheltered her from anyone outside their little commune.  The minute she turned 18, she left for college and became June and hasn't spoken to her parents since.  Now working on her master's thesis in filmmaking, she once again changes her topic to explore the disappearance 20 years ago of Greer Larkin, a teenage prodigy author whose mystery books June devoured.  While exploring the disappearance, she discovers that many people had motive and opportunity for Greer's death, and June may well have brought danger to her own doorstep with her investigation.

I really enjoyed this mystery and the way it was eventually resolved.  It kept me guessing and changing my mind along the way.  Even though June didn't always make smart decisions with her life, her character made me laugh with her rules of dating a married man and her dealings with the other supporting characters.  I can't wait to read more from this author!
