Synopsis

Jane Cho is a former legal investigator who was really good at her job, but she quit when someone she was investigating tried to have her killed. She returned to the seaside town of Waverly, Massachusetts, to run a takeout-food shop, Comfort & Joy, and to live a quiet, safer life. She thought everything was behind her as that person was convicted and is behind bars. But one peaceful morning, Jane stumbles over a dead body while taking out the trash. The dead woman ran a nearby bed and breakfast and had been threatened by Jane's thriving new business and had even filed suit the previous week to try and shut her down. The body includes a cryptic unsigned note. Is someone trying to help make Jane's problems disappear? Or is she the target?

2.5/5 Stars Motive was a decent read. I guess I just don't feel any really strong emotions with this book.

Motive Fun read. Great characters, I especially like Gramps, he makes for a good fool when needed. Great storyline. Murder is murder is murder & if it solved in a way you feel part of it, it's an enjoyable ride. Thanks for a great read, murder is not pretty; thank you for not allowing it to be uglier......more

This book is shorter so there's less thrilling suspense going around, almost none in fact. No one......more
