About the Book

 Folks in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, claim that where Nikki Bryant goes,  trouble is not far behind. Her refusal to back down from a challenge has  made Nikki Bryant a top investigative journalist.

When an  online friend nudges her to join him in a pact to reconnect with their  first loves, Nikki and her boxer dog Elmo leave the bright lights of Las  Vegas for the charming town of Pine Grove. There, she must face the  biggest challenges in her career and life—the first love she had left  behind and her father’s unsolved murder.

But before she has time  to unpack her car, Nikki stumbles upon the dead body of local news  anchor, Ashleigh Addison, her childhood rival. Could Ashleigh’s’ death  be connected to an explosive news story that she had teased about airing  live? Did that explosive story have anything to do with the murder of  Nikki’s father?

With the clues in her father’s cold case hot  again, Nikki intends to chase down the story of her life until she  catches his killer—no matter what it takes.

Praise for Killer Deadline

"Here we go! Carr is a master storyteller who always offers a plot full of twists and turns, a bit of humor to offset the dark, and a unique cast of characters. In Killer Deadline that cast includes - handsome Ryan, her first love (who is now her step-brother); a mysterious social media friend called Nerdy Guy; Elmo, a super smart dog, a boxer, she rescued who has become asocial media star and has a penchant for cleaning; a TV station full of suspicious employees; and more.

This book is a wonderful read to pick up at the end of a long day. It truly is a "cozy murder mystery." I promise, it'll draw you in right from page one and keep you turning the pages until you reach the very last page. I can't wait for the second book in this series."
