Pip uncovers secrets, and twists and turns to uncover this mystery. But will she also find love along with the truth about this murder?
My Review
I’ve previously read The Perfect Rom-Com by Melissa Fergusson and loved it so I was so excited to read another book by her. A romantic mystery is a bit of a different kind of book for me but I really enjoyed it. The story of a group of author friends who write all different genres, are all different ages, and have very different personalities is such a fun concept and something so different. I loved Pip’s character with how hard working and determined she was. It was so nice to see how much all the authors cared about her and wanted her to grow from her horrible ex-boyfriend and succeed as a writer herself. Nash was the perfect character to support Pip in her sleuthing and I loved how he was there for her through it all. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. Melissa is such a great writer and always immerses me right into her stories. I rate this book 4/5 stars and recommend it to anyone who likes romantic mysteries and books about authors.
And that’s the end of my Without A Clue by Melissa Ferguson book review. If you read this book let me know in the comments and if you loved it as much as I did. If you’re looking for other books to read check out these reviews: Lights Out, See You At The Summit, and The Windy City Series.
