Brenna Battles knows that when the phone rings at 3:00 A.M. it almost always means trouble, and this time it's a doozy. Her sister, Blythe, is being questioned for the murder of Ellison Baxter, a local reporter who she just met. Baxter was beaten to death with a hairbrush...Blythe's hairbrush. Brenna and Blythe moved to the small town of Bonney Bay to pursue former Judo Olympian Brenna's dream of owning a judo studio for children. Blythe, recently divorced, joined her sister in this latest endeavor.
I have a soft spot in my heart for books about sisters who are also best friends, and in Taking the Fall author Monday does a good job showing us how much these two care for each other. I enjoyed watching them inter-act as they try to solve the murder while dodging shady politicians, various town members and a policeman who is out to get them. There is also a bit of romance when officer Will Riggins tries to help the sisters while he obviously is interested in Brenna.
The story is cute, these strong sisters eventually figure out the mystery and all is well in this small town again. Most of these mysteries follow a similar plot line, so I look for likable characters and a comfortable setting when I try to find one to review. Taking the Fall has both, and so I recommend it to those who enjoy this type of escapism.
