Nothing Good Happens After Dark

Daleigh McDermott, rising country star, returns to her hometown in North Carolina, after her father's sudden death, only to realize that his death may not have been an accident. No one seems to agree with her, including her older sister, and Daleigh has lots of decisions to make about her life, her music, and her current boyfriend. She finds an ally in good guy, Ryan, and a relationship develops. I must say, I thought I figured out the bad guy early on, but was never quite sure. The angst with her sister, and the reasons for it, seemed realistic. The suspense and mystery kept me reading much later than I should be when I have to get up early, and I was glad to know that there was a second book coming out in this series.
