A Beautiful Corpse by Christi Daugherty

A Beautiful Corpse by Christi Daugherty
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A murder that shocks a city…
Shots ring out on one of Savannah's most famous streets. A beautiful law student lies dead.

A case full of secrets and lies…
Three men close to the victim are questioned. All of them claim to love her. All of them say they are innocent of her murder.

An investigation that could prove deadly…
As crime reporter Harper McClain unravels a tangled story of obsession and jealousy, the killer focuses on her. He's already killed one woman. Will he kill another?

The second in this series in the Harper McClain books begins with Harper attending the shooting in a tourist area of the city. When she arrives at the scene with her friend Bonnie (who she was having a drink with earlier in the evening) she discovers that the dead woman is Naomi Scott a girl that works at the same bar as Bonnie. Harper wants to help find out who the murderer is and tries to track down the killer. Harper is having problems of her own at the same time with a break-in at her apartment and the feeling that she is being followed, coupled with the detective investigating the murder being her former lover Luke, Harper is more involved that she thought she'd be.

The pace is good and the plot twisty enough to keep you reading to the end. Atmospheric and well written this makes for a compelling read. The ending is not really 'the end' and there is sure to be another in the series, I hope so.

Again easily readable as a stand alone novel but easily more enjoyable if you read both books. Again an easy 4 stars for this one.

I would like to thank the publisher for sending this in exchange for an honest review.
