Lake Murray Money

When wedding planning purgatory turns deadly!! Carolina Slade finds herself unable to agree with her fiancé Special Agent Wayne Largo on how and where to tie the knot. She's finally willing to visit rustic wedding venues around Lake Murray, but marriage plans take a back seat when she stumbles on a body which might be the latest in a series of worrisome farmer deaths! Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a great who done it and a few twists and turns. The story was interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This book was really great! It was about a couple touring different wedding venue sites, when they discover a dead body at one of them. It now takes a turn, and becomes a thriller/mystery to find out what happened. It had a great pace and a lot of twists and turns. Very entertaining and I recommend it!

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

One of my go to authors…talented at keeping the interest of the reader, while weaving a story of fiction that reads, at times, like nonfiction. I liked this story even though the red herrings kept me guessing and wondering. Curl up under a cozy blanket, be transported for an afternoon. Thanks Netgalley.

Have you ever read a book set where you live? In Lake Murray Money by C. Hope Clark it feels like the characters are driving by my neighborhood.

"Carolina Slade stumbles on a body while looking at wedding venues with her fiance. Another farmer is dead and points to a disturbing trend. Several farmers have recently died in mysterious circumstances. Slade is pulled into an investigation by her boss and told to keep it quiet. She can't even tell her law-enforcement fiance. Who is killing the farmers? And why is she being followed?"

Lots of tension with Slade trying to balance all of the concerned parties' agendas and still do her job. It was fun to recognize the places in the book. And the issue was a very real one (no spoiler) There's some welcome crossover with characters from the Edisto and Craven books. There's a funny scene at the Nudist Camp wedding. There is a local nudist camp that's been open for years.

A nice addition to the Clark crime universe.

In the latest Carolina Slade Mystery by C Hope Clark, Slade and Wayne are planning their upcoming wedding - she wants simple, he wants a venue - so while touring a local farm, of course Slade finds the farmer dead in the pond. Heading up what should be a simple investigation she discovers other deaths among farmers that aren’t making sense and Slade can’t let go. One of my favorite series that is always action packed!

Another incredible story by C. Hope Clark!

This is a book in the Carolina Slade series - however, it's the first book in the series I've read. I have read most of her other books, so the characters in this series are familiar. I just love her storylines and characters! Being from a rural community, I really enjoyed the farm/ag side of this book. Her mysteries are so detailed and in depth, the characters so well created and it just amazes me every time I read one of her stories how she puts it all together.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for a temporary, digital ARC in return for my review.
