As an ambassador for the BookSparks Fall Reading Challenge, I chose the “Secrets” track. This is Book One of my challenge!
In Deadly Company takes you through the days leading up to a birthday bash for Nicole Underwood’s very entitled boss. We flip back and forth between the events that took place, and the movie set for the movie based on Nicole’s retelling of those fateful days, that ended in Xander’s death. It’s the story about a cross, double-cross, and double-double cross.
On the flip side, there is the presumed murder of the company founder, and Nicole is on a mission to find out “who dun it”. There is a love interest (“What? He loves me?), a con-man (could they be the same person?), a cheating spouse, and a couple who maybe don’t want to be a couple. There’s a twist I saw coming, but you may not. Overall, this was an easy-breezy, quick read, with a good dose of humor.
