8.12.2025 - Bless Your Heart

Bless Your Heart by Leigh  Dunlap 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Crooked Lane Books and Megan Beatie Communications for gifting me a physical and digital ARC of the debut novel by Leigh Dunlap.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!

Anderson Tupper, a member of one of Atlanta’s richest families, has been murdered in the dugout of the Little League field where he was a volunteer coach, and it’s up to Detective Shay Claypool, a single mother from the other side of town, to find his killer.  But to do that, she has to deal with the Buckhead Betties, the entitled women of Georgia's most affluent zip code.  One of them may be a murdered, but which one?  Because everyone has secrets and lies.

I love domestic suspense/thrillers and this one was entertaining from the first page to that shocking ending.  While there are plenty of themes of entitled people, classism, and racism, this is just some downright fun.  Plus, the southern setting was so real, you can tell that the author used to live there.  Detectives Shay and Dub are great characters too.  There's still plenty of summer time left to enjoy this juicy book!  Can't wait to see what this author will come up with next, but sign me up now!
