About the Book
Missionary kid Elliot Ransom is restless after moving from her beloved Amazon home to a wealthy DC suburb. Though Storm River, Virginia, is beautiful, it's also a playground for haughty politicians and wealthy playboys. She’s never felt so out of place.Becoming an assistant to a hotshot private investigator changes everything . . .
Expecting to help with filing and background checks, Elliot is shocked when she’s catapulted into the frontlines of a murder investigation instead. While trying to prove their client innocent, she’s forced from the administrative role she usually plays. The change is surprisingly invigorating.
Learning the art of investigating shouldn’t be so dangerous . . . but this case just might be as dicey as the new town Elliot is living in. Could a little harmless eavesdropping lead to a big disaster?
My Thoughts
The Art of Eavesdropping is the first book in Christy Barritt's fun new series, The Sidekick's Survival Guide. I absolutely loved it.
Elliot's a great character who kinda stumbles her way into sleuthing. She took a job with a private investigator thinking she'd be doing desk work, but she's immediately thrust into the field her very first day. It was fun watching her learn how to be a PI, seeing her improvise and take control of situations that were totally foreign to her, and really shine in this new venture of hers.
The mystery was really good. There were lots of possible suspects with strong motives and I didn't figure it out before the reveal. I highly recommend this book to fans of cozy mysteries. I can't wait to spend more time with these characters in the next one.
