Blurb:

I remember the first time I ever saw Detective Inspector Noah George.

We were seven, stupid, and he threw sand in my eye. I’m pretty sure that’s when I fell in love with him. Hey—I did say I was stupid.

Summers in Fox Point, my grandfather’s seaside hometown, were all we had together. Then we turned eighteen, life happened, and he never spoke to me again.

Until my grandfather’s death calls me back to the small town, only for his lawyer to tell me he’s left me my family’s dilapidated bed and breakfast that was home to many things—my first sleepover party, where my grandma taught me to cross-stitch, my first kiss with Noah…

And apparently, my first dead body.

 

My name is Lottie O’Neil, and I’m on the hook for the murder of a man I’ve barely met.

And the one who’ll have to arrest me is the only man I’ve ever loved.

Unless I find the real killer first.


Review:

Dead & Breakfast is the first book on a new rom-com mystery series from Emma Hart and I really loved Lottie’s story and can’t wait to read more!


When her beloved grandfather dies, Charlotte inherits the Bed and Breakfast he always loved and is put in charge of its renovations. What she doesn’t expect is to find a dead body there and become a suspect in a case investigated by Noah, her childhood friend and first love who cut contact with her 10 years ago. With the help of her best friend and Noah’s sister, Lottie decides to investigate the murder herself, which proves difficult when she befriends one of her suspects and her feelings for Noah resurface. 


Dead & Breakfast was a completely different read than what I came to expect from Emma and I had so much fun reading this book. Lottie is an amazing FMC, she is strong and often talks before she thinks and I loved her as the main character. While there wasn’t a lot of romance in this book, I really liked the tension between Lottie and Noah and I was curious as to what exactly happened between them in the past. I must say I really like the direction the autor takes the romance in and I can’t wait to read more about them in the second book. That being said, the small amount of romance didn’t bother me because the plot was really interesting and I loved seeing Lottie and her friends trying to solve the murder with close to zero skills, I was laughing out loud in a few scenes, but this book also kept me on the edge of my seat in other scenes, I felt like there was a perfect balance between the mystery part of the book and the rom-com one, I can’t wait for more such books from Emma.


Dead & Breakfast is a really fun read that I absolutely recommend everyone, this book is so good! There is no cliffhanger at the end, but I loved the plot, the romance and the characters and already can’t wait to see what else Emma has in store for them.


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5



About the Author:

 

Bio:

New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Emma Hart, has written more than seventy romance novels in the last decade. She loves writing snarky, swoony romcoms with a side of chaos, occasionally venturing into romantic mysteries. Which are exactly the same as her romcoms, just with a dead body or two. That’s the reason for her questionable Internet history—at least that’s the story she’s sticking to.

She lives on a smallholding in North Wales with her husband and their two children, a clowder of very fluffy cats, one giant German Shepherd, and an undisclosed number of chickens and ducks. Don’t ask her to count them. She will not, thank you very much.

When she’s not writing or chasing ducks in her pyjamas, you can find her creating cosy gaming content for her Youtube channel.
