Review of "Mum's the Word"
?Mum?s the Word? introduces us to female-sleuth Abby Knight. She?s young, single and lives in Indiana with her roommate Nikki and Nikki?s cat Simon. Abby flunked out of law school after her first year and owns a flower shop named Bloomers.
This book follows Abby?s efforts to find out about the man in the black SUV who hit her car and drove off. There was a murder the same day, at about the same time that Abby?s car got hit, and she thinks there is a tie-in between the two events.
There are many facets to the book that make it interesting. Abby?s quest for justice fuels the story. We see the outrage she feels at those who commit crimes and get away with them, whether it?s trying to figure out who hit her car or helping a woman escape her abusive husband.
I enjoyed this book and will be reading more in the series.
