A hometown return turns into a murder investigation

After returning to Blue Oak, Texas, with her academic career in disarray, Leo takes photography work for her godmother’s real estate business. Finding the body of rival agent and influencer Chaz puts her at the center of a murder case—complicated by the fact that Leo and her best friend have been mocking Chaz online, and someone close to Leo is accused. The mystery shares space with Leo’s strained relationship with her mother, a possible reconnection with an old boyfriend, and the small-town ties that draw her into the investigation. Its setup combines a women-sleuth mystery with hometown relationships and social-media rivalry.

Book overview

A cozy murder mystery filled with hometown drama, social media influencers, an over-the-top mother, and two very attractive local men, A Zoom with a View will make you want to move to Blue Oak--if only the Fourth of July festivities didn't end with a dead body.

Leo can't believe she's back in Blue Oak. Her small, quirky Texas hometown feels suffocating after trying to make it big as an English professor in New York--especially due to her strained relationship with her overly hair-sprayed mother, Karina. But with Leo's career in academia in shambles, at least she's able to work as a photographer for her godmother's real estate business. And her best friend, Emily, is around to help her navigate through the mess--and maybe force her to reconnect with her old high school boyfriend, Mack.

But while at work, Leo makes a grisly discovery at one of her godmother's properties: the dead body of rival real estate agent and social media influencer Chaz. Even worse, Leo and Emily have been secretly running a snarky Reddit page making fun of Chaz's cringe-inducing advice and duck-faced selfies. When someone she loves is accused of the murder, Leo finds herself flung headfirst into a dangerous investigation, teaming up with a local detective who is a lot more attractive than she remembered when they were both teenagers. Meanwhile, Karina has been acting stranger and stranger, as if all her hair hides a big secret. . . .

A bold and hilarious introduction to a new sleuth who is looking to get her life back on track, but finds a man with his skull bashed in instead.
