Fiction: Suspense/Mystery: Sugar Tower, by Jessica Dee Rohm

Sugar Tower, by Jessica Dee Rohm is a fast paced story about a woman reporter who covers the story of the apparent drowning of a high profile real estate developer's wife. When a year later the story still nags at her, Marchesa "Mach" Piazza finds herself obsessing over the who-dunnit. Working in cahoots with the lead investigator she is able to follow the leads right to the murderer. Along the way, she discovers a lot about the not so nice victim and her past.

I liked this story. There were some good underpinnings and character development. For the most part, the actions taken by the reporter were plausible, and the twists of plot were interesting. The one thing that bothered me most was that the "how" of the murder was obvious from the beginning, but it took the main character until the end of the story to put two and two and two and two together. Maybe I have just read too many murder mysteries and true crime novels!

On a scale of 1-4, I give this book a 3. Overall, I liked this book. It was a fun and interesting read.
