Tracking Tilly (Little Red Truck Mysteries, #1) by Janice Thompson

Tracking Tilly (Little Red Truck Mysteries, #1)
ABOUT THE BOOK 

Who Stole Tilly from the Auction Block? 

Breathe in the nostalgia of everything old red truck in book one of a new cozy mystery series

The Hadley family ranch is struggling, so RaeLyn, her parents, and brothers decide to turn the old barn into an antique store. The only thing missing to go with the marketing of the store is Grandpa’s old red truck, Tilly, that was sold several years ago. Now coming back up on the auction block, Tilly would need a lot of work, but RaeLyn is sure it will be worth it—if only she can beat out other bidders and find out who stole Tilly after the auction ends. Hadley finds herself in the role of amateur sleuth, and the outcome could make or break the new family venture.



MY THOUGHTS.....

"Today, the victory would be mine. Papaw's truck would belong to the Hadley family once again, a piece of his legacy home to roost, and Mason could go back to doing whatever it was he did these days. I couldn't care less."

Raelyn Hadley's joy in being the successful auction bidder for her grandfather's beloved red truck soon turns to dismay when Tilly is stolen, and this is when the fun journey begins. Tracking Tilly has great characters, the mystery of Tilly's disappearance, and a reconnection between Raelyn and her old high school flame, Mason Frederick. I laughed out loud at Raelyn's snide comments, Mason's playful winks, and the obvious chemistry that Raelyn desperately tried to ignore. It didn't take a genius to know that a sweet romance was being revived in their small Texas town!

This is the first book in a new series from author Janice Thompson and it's a great introduction to The Little Red Truck Mysteries. This enjoyable story showcases family, memories, and the secrets that are often a part of those memories, and it's filled with drama, a light mystery, and second chances. I recommend Tracking Tilly to all who enjoy romantic cozy mysteries.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
