I Think I was Murdered by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker. “It’s a high-octane thriller with the grounding touches of Katrina’s Norwegian heritage, the hygge of North Haven, and a very sweet romance between two likable, vulnerable people. Romantic suspense comfort food–just like waffles with cloudberry cream.” –KIRKUS
