Travel agent Campbell Hale’s first boyfriend is back in Nashville for their high-school reunion – but murder, rather than love, is in the air . . .
“Fans of Diane Mott Davidson and Donna Andrews will enjoy this new series” – Booklist
Travel agent Campbell Hale might be flying solo at her twentieth-year school reunion, but that doesn’t mean she’s looking for love. Her almost boyfriend, homicide detective Sam Davis, has stood her up, with the terrible excuse that he has a murder to investigate.
So when she runs into her high-school sweetheart, Franklin “Fly” Young, who makes a point of telling her his marriage is in trouble, she’s not interested – but she can’t help but feel nostalgic. And more to the point, Fly is now a tech millionaire, and he has good news: he’d like her to take on his company’s travel account.
But then Campbell discovers the identity of Detective Davis’ murder victim: Fly’s company accountant. Was his death connected to the company, or is it a terrible coincidence? Soon Campbell is caught up in a nightmare – with her whole life on the line . . .
As well as being a twisty, tightly plotted mystery, with a warm-hearted, witty and loveable protagonist, FLYIN’ SOLO is a wonderful read for anyone who’s ever felt nostalgic for their first love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Peden's pleasing third Nashville mystery (after Gone Missin') finds Campbell Hale, the manager of a Nashville travel agency, preparing to go dateless to her 20-year high school reunion. Her friend and casual love interest, homicide detective Sam Davis, has refused to accompany her, citing an ongoing murder investigation. Campbell is not alone for long. Her first love, Fly Young, whom she hasn't seen in 20 years, appears at the reunion, as attractive as ever, and Campbell remembers those bright days of youthful—decorous—passion and of how Fly broke her heart. Now a millionaire whose healthcare software company dominates the industry, Fly has a gorgeous wife, Erika, who has parlayed her popular diet and fitness plan into breathtaking financial success. When Fly offers Campbell the business travel account for his company, she readily accepts. Subsequently, she learns Sam is investigating the murder of Fly's chief accountant. When a photo taken during the reunion of Fly giving Campbell a kiss is printed in a local newspaper and Erika is found dead, with Campbell beside the body, the travel agent becomes a suspect in her murder. The book's wry humor and gentle reflections on love and second chances more than make up a whodunit that's pretty easy to figure out. Cozy readers will be satisfied.
