A Zoom with a View by Jess Cannon

BOOK BLURB

Leo can’t believe she’s back in Blue Oak. Her small, quirky Texas hometown feels suffocating after trying to make it big as an English professor in New York—especially due to her strained relationship with her overly hair-sprayed mother, Karina. But with Leo’s career in academia in shambles, at least she’s able to work as a photographer for her godmother’s real estate business. And her best friend, Emily, is around to help her navigate through the mess—and maybe force her to reconnect with her old high school boyfriend, Mack.

But while at work, Leo makes a grisly discovery at one of her godmother’s properties: the dead body of rival real estate agent and social media influencer Chaz. Even worse, Leo and Emily have been secretly running a snarky Reddit page making fun of Chaz’s cringe-inducing advice and duck-faced selfies. When someone she loves is accused of the murder, Leo finds herself flung headfirst into a dangerous investigation, teaming up with a local detective who is a lot more attractive than she remembered when they were both teenagers. Meanwhile, Karina has been acting stranger and stranger, as if all her hair hides a big secret….

MY REVIEW

A woman returns to her small hometown in Texas. Her career as an English professor hit a snag, and she takes a job as as a real estate photographer for her godmother. When she arrives at a property to photogragh it, she finds a former high school classmate dead.

A Zoom with a View is a lighthearted mystery. Quirky characters and a charming setting.

Good for fans of cozy mysteries with a diverse cast of characters. A Zoom with a View has some loose ends, so maybe there will be more with these characters.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
