Review: Good story and likeable characters

This is the second book in the Rachel Myers series.  Rachel moves back from Arizona to the Blue Ridge Mountains after deciding to break it off with her fiance due to her hesitation to commit to marriage.  Before Rachel has finished unpacking, her good friend, Isaac, talks her into investigating the death of another friend of his because he doesn't believe his death is an accident or a suicide.  She also develops a new love interest, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes in future books.  I was happy that the author provided more depth to the main character, Rachel.  She is a likeable but not perfect.  She likes gardening, horses, and horseback riding.  As in the first book in the series, the author's descriptions of the mountain area and town are delightful.  Other reviews have talked about the fact that these books are rather short, and I guess they are.  They are quick and easy reading and very well-written.  Perhaps they are novellas rather than novels, but I have no problem with that.  I will continue to read this series, and I look forward to seeing where Rachel's life leads her.
