Emily Delaney, a reporter for one of Hollywood’s hottest gossip magazines, has her world turned upside down when her former journalism mentor dies, and she is called back to the hometown she thought she’d left for good.

Emily is quickly surrounded by small town intrigue, including a desperate effort to save the town’s failing newspaper, unraveling an unsolved mystery, and clearing the name of her beloved mentor who is suspected of murder. All the while trying to avoid memories of the terrible mistake she made in high school that forced her to leave town in the first place. Not so easy to do, especially when her ex-high school sweetheart is now a handsome local detective blocking her every turn.

Secrets and Scandals is the first book in the Gilman Gazette cozy mystery series. If you like page-turning mysteries filled with fun characters, humor and sweet romance, then you will love the first installment of Piper Glendale’s engaging series.

My Thoughts This was a new to me author. There were numerous characters to keep tabs on, and a lot of events happening in this book. Freya has ulterior motives of being on the luxurious yacht. The pace is unchanging, the characters are well developed, and it’s an easy, quick read. Moreover, it is hard to include it in the list of thrillers but it is a good book anyway. Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.
