This book has a basic thin plot, and as a reader I din't have enough empathy for the characters to get really interested.

Interesting political suspense story that directs readers on a journey of crimes to be solved that impact contenders in a Texas gubernatorial race. 4 star recommendable read.

This book may be fiction, but it showed how dirty politics can be. I found this to be extremely relevant due to our current political environment.

Couldn't get into this one. I don't know why just wasn't a book I liked. I felt like the characters lacked depth.

The description pretty well covers the plot. Ron Drake, a long time family friend, is running for Governor against Jim Bob Wilson and the polls have Ron ahead by 70%. George Weeks and Ginnie Leverett, two of the workers for Jim Bob, plot to employ a dirty trick. The caper goes awry and Ginnie takes her first step on a slippery slope Crystal Moore finds herself in the cross-hairs as Ginnie starts unraveling.

This is the first book I have read in the Crystal Moore series but it won't be the last. I found the characters to be entertaining and likable. Suspense, mystery, humor and mayhem.

Thank you NetGalley for providing this book for an honest review. Review posted on Amazon and Good Reads.

Ron Drake is running for governor of Texas. He is very likely the winner from the beginning of the campaign. Two volunteers on the opposing candidate's team talk about doing a dirty trick to Drake to help their candidate. She will steal a painting from Drake's home and make it look like Drake took it for the insurance money. Things go wrong from the beginning. Crystal Moore decides she is going to look into what is behind this theft which leads to murders and keeps going wrong for those involved. An interesting look at what can happen and how it can go so wrong.
