So this is the second book in the Joe Dillard series. I actually started with book one and moved on to book two! I think I’m getting the hang of reading now :) I really liked the main character (Joe) in book one, so I’m going to keep reading until I don’t.

Needless to say, she’s pretty peeved. Before she can get her bearings, her police detective Uncle Bob (UB for short) calls her to a murder scene. […]
