After
a serious on the job injury, LA cop Mel O’Rourke leaves the force battered both
physically and mentally. Looking for a fresh start, she moves to a quiet
mountain town and opens the Babbling Brook Inn. Excited for her new life, Mel
decides to participate in the town’s holiday cookie contest, but her newfound
joy crashes when one of her guests turns up dead in the Inn’s lobby.
Tempted
to attribute the death to natural causes, Mel’s cop sense kicks in after a
second guest dies. The local sheriff tells her to stand down, but with her own
life in danger, Mel refuses to back off. With everything on the line, she has
to push through her own fears to catch the killer before more bodies drop,
perhaps even her own.
Our
Review: In this fun, fast read, script writer turned author
Marla White shows off her talent for writing crisp, snappy dialogue and
creating unique, one-of-a-kind characters capable of invoking laugh out loud
moments. Just when things are running smoothly, another monkey lands on the
pile of wrenches, sending B&B owner Mel O’Rourke off and running—literally
if not figuratively. The Starlight Mint Murder Mystery is an homage to
small rural communities and those who flock to them—as well as large, Irish
families who pass down their traditions—flawed by accident, or maybe not. We
hope this story is the beginning of even better stories to come.
On
a scale of 1-5, The Starlight Mint Murder Mystery deserves a 6.
