The Love Detective
by Angela Dyson
Clarry Pennhaligan, low on ambition but high on energy, can’t seem to come up with a proper grown-up plan to kick-start her life. Planning really isn’t her thing. But then she happens upon her true vocation: Snooping. Discovering other people’s secrets and getting paid for it. What could possibly go wrong? Well……as it turns out, just about everything and soon Clarry finds herself in real danger.
The Love Detective has a dark edge with themes of homelessness, murder and human trafficking that will keep the reader gripped to the edge of their seats until the very last page.
The Love Detective is the first in a series due for release in September 2018. The second book will follow in late spring 2019.

Momma Says: 2 stars⭐⭐
To say that this book was not for me would be an understatement. I found it unnecessarily wordy and rambling, and to be honest, the beginning of the story was a bit boring. It does take a dark turn, and the subject matter is quite serious, which was unexpected given the tone of the story. I think that's where this one completely lost me. The book has a cozy mystery feel to it, which doesn't work well with the serious turn it takes. I appreciate wit, sarcasm, and humor and maybe it's because I couldn't connect with the character, but for whatever reason, I just didn't find Clarry particularly witty. In fact, I didn't find many of the characters remotely likable. I did make it through to the end, but given my feelings for this one, I think it's safe to say that I won't be continuing the series.
