Book Description:
When Nora Blackbird's parents skipped town and left her with a property tax bill for two million, she found herself in dire need of a paycheck. So the former debutante finds work as the society page columnist for a Philly paper. She's happy to reclaim her place within the city's elite-until her first party assignment sends her stumbling...upon the murdered body of the host.

Nora's sisters-sexy Emma and flaky Libby-complicate matters as Nora investigates. And meanwhile, the son of a rumored New Jersey crime boss is pursuing Nora with bone-melting come-ons she can barely resist.

This was a new author for me and I enjoyed the protagonist, Nora Blackbird. She is from "old money" (her parents) but now broke since her parents took off to places unknown with what is left of the family fortune (conveniently in off-shore accounts). She has a 2 million dollar tax debt and has to get a job for the first time in her life. She and her two sisters, Emma and Libby, work together to find a friend's killer. They discover stuff about her parents' friends they wished they'd never known. I think I am going to enjoy this series.

I almost put this down because it started out a bit slow for me. Thankfully, I kept reading and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed it and plan on reading the whole series.

First in The Blackbird Sisters Mysteries. Looking forward to reading the others in the series.

My parents blew the country for a sunny resort that catered to American tax evaders, leaving the family art collection to my sister Emma and the furniture to my sister Libby. They gave me the land--and a property tax bill for two million dollars. Which is why I, Nora Blackbird, a former socialite who never really held a job in all my thirty-one years, found myself in dire need of a paycheck...

Now Nora has a job as a society page columnist for a Philadelphia paper. This down-and-almost-out former debutante is happy to reclaim her place within the city's elite. Until her first party assignment, when she stumbles upon the murdered body of the host--a millionaire art collector and old family friend. Her sisters--sexy, hard-edged Emma and flaky earth mother Libby, who has her hands full with husband number two and four kids--only complicate matters as Nora investigates. And meanwhile the son of a rumored New Jersey crime boss is pursuing her with bone-melting come-ons she can barely resist. Priorities, Nora, think priorities...

Really cute book, and a lot of fun to try and guess the killer. I loved the sparking chemistry between the heroine and the male love interest. It is hot! LOL I hope I am able to read it a second time before someone wants to swap it with me :)
