Thank you, Partner
@bibliolifestyle @harperperennial for the review copy of We Love to Entertain
by Sarah Strohmeyer.
Do you like home
improvement shows? I love them. We cut the cable cord many years ago, but every
time we stay at a hotel, HDTV is on. I
love to watch, but also make fun of the shows as well. I especially love it when a house looks new
to me (it’s from 2015!) and it’s decided that it needs a complete redo.
Erika Turnbull was going
through a rough time in life, but she was able to get a great job as an
assistant for a couple, Holly Simmons and Robert Barron who are working on renovating
a log cabin home for a reality TV show.
When Holly and Robert go missing immediately after their wedding, Holly
is suspicious. Are they really on a
surprise honeymoon? Why would they go missing
at such a critical time during the renovation project? Unfortunately, the town grows suspicious of
Erika. Did she kill Holly and Robert in
a jealous rage? What about the unfortunate
incident that Holly was involved with back in high school? Erika’s mother Kim
may drive her crazy, but as things start to go south for Erika, she is there to
support her and help her figure out what happened to the Barrons.
I enjoyed the mother and daughter
combination of Erika and Kim. They take
turns narrating the novel and other viewpoints are added in as well. I liked that their mother – daughter relationship
improves throughout the book. I also
enjoyed Kim’s assistant, Doreen, who was not always that helpful. There was fun humor in the book such as how
Holly and Robert’s posts for how wonderful everything was didn’t quite match reality. I liked the suspense in the novel and all of
the twists and turns it took. I did
figure out most of this one, but I really liked how Strohmeyer tied everything
up at the end. This is a good book for
those that love a cozy suspense mystery and home renovation shows.
