BOOK REVIEW | Director’s Cut
The mayor of Rita, CA is campaigning for Congress and has found herself back in trouble again. Well, not necessarily in trouble herself, but trouble has found her. Maddy’s movie star cousin, Catherine, has moved back to town. Taking a break from her fast-paced Hollywood life, Catherine decides to do some acting in a local theatre production.
Excited to spend time with her younger cousin, Maddy heads off to see Catherine’s home. The newly built majestic home(mansion) has a rather unpleasant surprise for its new owner. Catherine’s missing chaffeur turns up dead in the pool. Upon further investigation, the chaffeur’s demise was not accidental – especially with a gunshot wound in his head. Not sure why and who could have done this, Maddy will spend a lot more time with her cousin than she expected as she takes the young woman under her care.
While dealing with a murder on her hands, Maddy becomes aware of a disturbing and dangerous trend that has been going on under her nose. Someone is playing cruel pranks with city property and now two victims are laying in the hospital as a result. Talk about stress!
For those of you who are new to the Madison Glenn series, this book can be easily read without having any prior knowledge of the mayor’s other experiences (previous two books). As a fan, I’m delighted to see Maddy, a new believer, continuing to grow in her faith. Not only is she growing, but she is starting to witness her faith to others. Other characters have obviously noticed a change in the mayor especially with the amount of trouble she manages to find herself in. She has definitely become a favorite read!
