First Book of the Year 2021

Each year, Sheila over at Book Journey
makes a big deal over what the first book she’ll read will be for the
new year and once again she’s asked us to join her. I have joined in for the last 6
years and it’s always a lot of fun seeing what book everyone selects.
Be sure to stop by Sheila’s post to see the collage she makes of everyone participating!

 

For
my first book of the year, I am once again going with a book from my
bookshelf – a trend I’ve been following for the past 6 years straight!
My book is the 3rd book in series that I just started reading this past year … Revolver Road  by Christie Daugherty. This is part of Christie’s Harper McClain’s series and it’s such a fantastic crime fiction series set in Savannah. 

Summary: 

Crime reporter Harper McClain is back on the beat when a troubled musician vanishes in Christi Daugherty’s Revolver Road.

Even
in the chill of February, no place touches Harper McClain’s heart like
Savannah. She should be walking beneath the historic city’s towering
oaks, surrounded by graceful mansions. Instead, she’s hiding miles away
on Tybee Island after a mysterious voice on the phone warned her that
someone wanted her dead. The call was too specific to ignore. The caller
knew everything about her. But that was months ago, and she’s getting
tired of being scared.

Her only escape is her work at the
newspaper, where the hottest story in town is the disappearance of
Xavier Rayne. The singer had a hit album on his hands, and was about to
go on tour, but then he walked out of his beachfront home and vanished.
The police believe he drowned, but Harper suspects his disappearance may
be more ominous than that. Something doesn’t feel right about it.

His
bandmates and actress girlfriend say he’s run away before. They expect
him to come home. Until a body washes up with two bullet holes in it.
Now everyone in Rayne’s life is a suspect. As Harper digs deeper into
the case, though, the threats against her own life return. The phone
call she received was very real. A killer from her past is coming for
her.

Now she must solve two murders, or end up dying on Revolver Road…

 

So what’s your first book of 2021 going to be?
