Firstly, it was graphic right out of the gate I mean you could smell and taste the scene, i have never had orzo pasta and I definitely wont ever be having now but that’s not where the food theme ends, i can cross off dinner parties off my list also.
id love to see a Carhartt logo on someone’s forehead, that’s taking a sponsorship to a new level. I loved this book it’s definitely a page turner, you want to know what’s going to happen and you’re invested.

Scythe & Sparrow,
Released: February 11th 2025
Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart, one he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiance and his derailed surgical career. It's a simpler head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston.
But then the real circus finds him.
Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she's not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with an injured leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor.
The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together.
...And the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts are to catch up.
Honestly I wanted to shake these too, fun read, really enjoyed this series Byrne Weaver is quite the story teller.

It’s page turning, it’s creepy it’s a really well done whodunit, I really couldn’t guess who the perpetrator was (Don’t worry i wont spoil it)
I did think first it was Sophia & her brother to solely get the inheritance, i knew it wasn’t Billy and the ex boyfriend was too obvious but wait till you find out who and why !!!!!
You could have knocked me over with a feather…………..
