"Crazy
About You" by Katie O’Sullivan
I love romance. I love
suspense. “Crazy About You” has both. Katie does a magnificent job weaving love
and murder together. A cozy, this novel will have your cheering on the
protagonist and worrying about if the protagonist will be around long enough to
enjoy the romance coming her way.
Emma comes home from New York
to Provincetown to visit, but it’s not long before she’s had enough and goes
back to New York. But before leaving Provincetown she literally bumps into a
stranger. Chase Anderson is in town for his research he’s doing and doesn’t
plan on staying long.
Back in New York, Emma is
called back to Provincetown to run her mother’s bead store while her parents are
away taking care of her brother Sean after emergency surgery.
Chase ends up having to stay
longer in Provincetown that he initially anticipated. Before you know it, Emma
and Chase spend more and more time together. But Emma’s friend from New York,
Tony, doesn’t like it. His cousin Vito reports back to Tony that he spotted
Emma out with Chase. He tells her to stop dating, that it doesn’t look good for
him. When Emma defends herself and relationship, telling Tony that they were
only friends, not a couple, Tony makes Vito apologize to Emma.
Vito ends up dead. Emma
refuses to believe Tony had anything to do with it. Is she that naïve? Doesn’t
she realize who Tony really is? And why should she stop dating Chase just
because people think she and Tony are a couple? What is really going on? It’s
rumored to be mob-related. Is it true?
So many questions and I will
not answer a single one. This is a book you have to read to find out. Katie
will draw you in like she did to me. You won’t stop until you’ve reached the
end. Very enjoyable.
