Love You to Death by Melissa Senate is a light, summer read.
Who is turning Abby Foote's life upside down? Abby has had the unfortunate (or fortunate) experience of loving and losing a number of truly unsuitable men.
Her latest is unable to attend the bris of her nephew and deserts her in LL Bean. But he is substantially better than her last love. While serious about him, she found him in intimate circumstances with the woman who is now about to become his wife. Or is he?
His engagement picture hits the paper the day of the bris.
Then he is found murdered. In the course of the investigation, it is learned that two other of her former lovers have had attempts on their lives.
Enter Detective Benjamin Orr, the best thing that has ever happened to her. She is the police's number one suspect, but if she isn't the one who has committed these crimes, then someone close to her is liable to harm her also.
To the author's credit, the family dynamics, the fiance to her ex-love, and the co-workers are all developed well. There is a lot of humor as those close to her suck up to her, while claiming they don't believe it, because they think she is capable of murder and who knows if they might be next on the list.
Then again, it is a serious subject and in real life it might not tie up as neatly. It's a lucky thing for her that she is believed and the real murderer is found out.
I give it a 2.5.
