Dead As A Doornail (Kenni Lowry #5) by Tonya Kappes




Blurb:
Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone. And doesn’t our Sheriff Kenni Lowry know that? Well, she knows a lot of things.

Lucy Lowell takes great pride in writing negative reviews in the local newspaper for anything that does not go her way. When Lucy is found dead, it appears to be from natural causes. 

But Sheriff Kenni Lowry knows there is more to it because the ghost of her grandfather, the ex-sheriff, is standing over the body. 

His presence can only mean one thing: Murder!

Since Kenni’s relationship with Deputy Finn Vincent has heated up, Kenni is having trouble conducting the investigation without Finn questioning her every move. 

Can Kenni unravel the mystery on her own or will she have to tell Finn the real reason she knows it was murder—the ghost of her poppa?

It’s blowin’ up a storm and only Kenni knows how it’ll end.

My review:
 Sheriff Kenni Lowry may not be a girly girl much to her mamas’ chagrin but she discovers that the local hair/nail salon is a hotbed of gossip. And you thought politics is dirty - taint nothing next to small town clicks and one upsmanship. Lucy Lowell is a shit stirrer. If she doesn’t get her way she writes a scathing review in the local paper. Could one of those nasty reviews be the reason she was found dead? Or was she having an affair? It’s up to Kenni, her dog Duke, her dead grandfather and her hunky boyfriend/deputy Finn to find out.
I love visiting Cottonwood with all its quirky characters that we can all relate to. I enjoy watching Kenni struggle with her mamas’ expectations and discovering that yes she is falling for Finn. I’ll admit I didn’t figure this one out until Kenni showed me the killer. I anxiously await each installment and devour it as soon as it arrives.
