描述
Harriet Baker thought that when she left Logan Island, she was leaving for good. But after getting fired from her dream magazine job, she finds herself stuck back in the sleepy New Jersey beach town living with her eccentric mother and desperate to escape.
And her ticket out might be…murder?
When Harriet's extravagant birthday party ends with a dead body, all fingers point to Sara Allbright, the troublesome sister of none other than Nic, Harriet's short-lived fling from years ago that she's been eager to forget. And the feeling is entirely mutual. But murder makes for a good story, and when Harriet is told that she can get her old job back if she writes an article uncovering what really happened the night of her party, she readily agrees. To write her piece, Harriet will need Nic's full cooperation, and if Nic wants to clear his sister's name, he'll need Harriet's investigative skills. But working together? That's less than ideal.
As the two team up to find the real killer, they'll uncover the dark underbelly of their seemingly perfect hometown, uncover long buried feelings, and maybe, just maybe, realize that they might work well together after all.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of It Happened One Murder.This was a solid 5-star read for me. I genuinely loved the romance — it felt really well-paced and realistic, not rushed or forced, which made it easy to get invested in the characters and their relationship.The mystery side was just as enjoyable. It kept me guessing the whole way through, and I had a lot of fun trying (and failing) to figure out the culprit. The twist at the end completely blindsided me in the best way possible — I was convinced I had it figured out… I did not.Also, I have to say, this book had me side-eyeing every character at some point, including the ones I probably shouldn’t have. I was basically a detective with zero credentials and full confidence.Overall, a really fun blend of romance and mystery with great pacing, lovable characters, and a twist I never saw coming. Highly recommend if you like your books to keep you guessing and occasionally make you feel personally attacked by how wrong your theories are.
