Jennifer Ward’s To Do List:
1) Turn in my business partner and his lying, cheating, law-breaking client to the SEC for insider trading.
2)Cooperate with the FBI. Do not kiss - scratch that. Do not yell at Special Agent Nicholas Kelly, the FBI agent leading said investigation.
3) Discover a dead body...

Jennifer Ward, MBA, CPA, and business consultant, likes a nice, orderly lifestyle. Schedules and To Do Lists are what gets her through the day. So when the by-the-numbers fashionista finds her business partner was breaking the law, she turned him in to the SEC. Which brought the FBI to her door, and her ordered world to an end.

But that was three weeks ago. Things couldn’t possibly get worse. Right?

Until Jen discovers her business partner dead in his hotel room. With Nic the handsome FBI agent dogging her every step, Jen must use her skills to discover the truth. Who killed Henry? And will she be next?

Number’s Up is the perfect laugh out loud funny book. It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Number’s Up by Annabelle Hunter is a witty, faced-paced mystery filled with humor, romance and the perfect amount of snark. I loved all the quirky character that fill up this delightful town of Barrow Bay.

Jennifer Ward

Jen is an accountant, she works from home, and her partner is involved with some questionable clients. Now with the FBI involved everything is spiraling out of control. Jen doesn’t handle the loss of power well. However, she is distracted by the FBI agent assigned to the insider trading case. I love Jen. She is tall for a lady, smart, and has a hilarious inner voice. Oh, and she loves a good drink.

Some of my Favorite things

• The Marvel superhero references used throughout the book.
• The way the town recruits people for job positions.
• I find it funny that Jen or Lark think they have a say in what the town has planned for them.
• Lindsey’s town blog that Lindsey runs is more of a gossip rag than the town newspaper.
• The sewing circle ladies.
• That everyone tries to help each other out even though that person may not want that type of assistance.
• The tea house and high tea. I guess the love of tea exceeds my expectations.
• The way that Jen and Nic learned who the murderer is.
• Nic is a gentleman and won’t take advantage of an intoxicated lady.

There are so many more, but it will honestly be easier if you just read the book.

5 Stars for Number’s Up by Annabelle Hunter

Ok, I adore this book. The whole book is fabulous. I love the way that Ms. Hunter writes. Oh, and what a fantastic imagination she has. Barrow Bay and its citizens are so spectacular. I swear I have met a few people like them before.

Since this is the first of the Barrow Bay series, I am looking forward to the next one. At one point, I was laugh so hard that I could barely see the words, but I couldn’t put it down in case a new incident happened. My rating is five stars.

If you haven’t discovered the brilliant Annabelle Hunter than look her up on Amazon right now. She will have laughing right along with the town of Barrow Bay.
