Seeds of Murder - Review
Witness Darby Loughlin shifts from hunted to hunter in this spine-chilling thriller of murder, greed, and romance.
On a secluded mountaintop, Darby Loughlin witnesses her mentor’s death during an afternoon hike. It’s murder. She knows it but has no proof. The killer isn’t present, nor does he leave traceable evidence.
Teaming up with former police officer turned private investigator Nick Tucker is a distraction and unwelcome necessity. Unfortunately, she lacks the skills and tools needed to trace the camouflaged assassin.
Straddling the law has never been a problem since her moral compass points true north. This time, however, she must work with authorities to gain insight into a world to which she doesn’t belong.
As the snarl of lies and deceptions unfold, Darby and her K9 partner struggle to stay ahead of the killer who’s selected her as his next victim.
Seeds of Murder is the third book in the Moonlight and Murder series, which is written by author Reily Garrett. Each book in this series tells the story of a different couple and can be read as a standalone romance. Even though this is true, I do believe you’ll fully appreciate the storyline by reading them in order. Just know that it’s only a suggestion.
Seeds of Murder tells the story of Darby Loughlin and Nick Turner. Darby was helping her mentor, Basil, collect samples when they were attacked. She and her dog Boots were lucky to get away, but sadly Basil passed away, and now she’s on the mission to find his killer. Nick is a private investigator, and he is about to finish the case he’s been working on when he’s interrupted by Darby.
This story was a thrilling page-turner, and I was sucked in very quickly. I really enjoyed seeing the couples from the first two books and loved how they accepted Darby into their group. The storyline was suspenseful with many twists along the way.
It’s a definite add to your TBR list!

A Critical Tangent is a suspenseful story written by author Reily Garrett. It is the first book in the Moonlight and Murder series, and it’s full of action, drama, and suspense. I was quickly sucked into the storyline and read it in one day.
A Critical Tangent tells the story of Keiki, who’s best friends with Shelly and Gabby. Keiki designs drones, and while she’s flying a new prototype, she witnesses her friend’s murder. Nolan and his partner Coyote are both detectives, and they’re investigating Shelly’s death. When Keiki’s other friend Gabby disappears, the detectives have to decide if Keiki is responsible or if she’s being framed.
Nolan and Keiki had a lot of sexual tension, but the main focus was the investigation. I was kind of hoping for a little more steamy, but I truly enjoyed the story. The book did have a happy for now ending, but I’m hoping we’ll learn more about Nolan and Keiki in the next book, Pivotal Decisions.

Pivotal Decisions is the second book in the Moonlight and Murder series written by author Reily Garrett. It tells the story of Sabine and Coyote, who we met in the first book, A Critical Tangent. Even though each book tells the story of a different couple, I believe you’ll get the best foundation to fully understand and appreciate the storyline by reading them in order. Just know that it’s only a suggestion.
Pivotal Decisions tells the story of Sabine, who is an officer with the Fish and Wildlife services in Florida. While walking near the swamplands, Sabine and her friend Augie find their friend Jinx. They first think that he’s playing a joke, but sadly he wasn’t. They soon discover a note on his body which was left by the killer. Augie then calls his brother Coyote for help, but he hasn’t been home for roughly six years. Coyote’s nervous about coming home, but he’s willing to do it for his brother. He just wasn’t expecting to find their friend Sabine, now all grown up and looking beautiful.
I really enjoyed Pivotal Decisions! I thought the storyline was suspenseful, and I quickly got sucked in. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series, Seeds of Murder.
