About the Book

A dead body in the parking lot of her family’s business, a killer on the loose, and a handsome detective asking a lot of questions…

Jamie Scott’s life fell apart four years ago when she broke off her engagement, turned down a dream job, and went overseas to run away from her life. Now she’s back, but the reunion is not without problems. She arrives home just in time to attend the soiree her mother planned, but she’s not prepared for what she finds—a dead employee in the parking lot.

Detective Nick Marshall is assigned to the murder case at the forensics lab owned by Jamie’s family. He meets the headstrong Jamie, but he has a job to do. And his attraction to her… well, he’s a professional.

Jamie knows the stakes are high. She has to face the past and save her parents’ business while dealing with her family drama and an uncertain future. She also has to deal with Nick, who wants her out of the way of his investigation. But fate keeps throwing them in one another’s paths… and into chaos that they both want to avoid, but neither can seem to escape.

My Review

Homecoming Chaos by D.W. Brooks is a blend of mystery, romance, and family drama that captivates from the first page. The novel opens with a chilling discovery: a dead body in the parking lot of the protagonist, Jamie Scott's, family business. This sets the stage for a story that weaves together personal struggles and a tantalizing murder mystery.

Jamie's return home is marred by unexpected chaos. Her journey from running away to confronting her past, including a broken engagement and a missed career opportunity, is portrayed with depth and authenticity. Brooks does an excellent job of depicting Jamie's inner turmoil and growth throughout the novel.

Brooks skillfully balances the suspense and intrigue of the investigation with the personal dynamics of Jamie's life. The introduction of Detective Nick Marshall adds an interesting twist to the narrative. His professional demeanor and his growing attraction to Jamie create a compelling subplot that enriches the story.

The family drama and the dynamics of Jamie’s relationship with her parents and the legacy of their business add another layer to the narrative. Brooks handles these aspects with sensitivity and realism, making the characters' interactions believable and relatable.

In conclusion, Homecoming Chaos offers a satisfying blend of mystery, romance, and family drama. Brooks' skillful storytelling, combined with relatable characters and an intriguing plot, makes this book perfect for fans of the genre.
