EYEWITNESS SKETCH by Danielle Grandinetti, Reviewed by Paula Shreckhise #ReleaseDay

 Di Stasio Giornaliste Agency Book 1

PAULA'S REVIEW:
From Chicago to a remote island at the tip of Door County In Wisconsin, danger follows Gabby when she is a witness to a murder. Her refuge is her home town and deputy Andri Johannsson. Andri has known Gabby for a long time and does his best to protect her along with his canine Freya. Not only do they rely on each other but also on the God that is so much a part of their lives. 

Lots of intrigue as things get complicated and distant memories put Gabby in further danger. Could Gabby find the answers she is looking for? And has romance with Andri been lurking in the background? Uncover the answers in this absorbing look at a member of the DiStasio Giornaliste Agency featuring 1930s prohibition.

This is a polished, engaging story with charming characters. I look forward to the rest of the series.
*A complimentary copy of this book was provided by Hearth Spot Publishing on behalf of the author. I was not required to post a favorable review. All opinions are mine alone.* 5 stars and a solid faith thread.

BackCover Blurb:
Finding love at Death's Door might destroy them both.

CHICAGO, Ill., 1931—Gabriella Salatino, an illustrative journalist for the Di Stasio Giornaliste Agency, never planned to return to her island home at the tip of Wisconsin's Door Peninsula. Nor did she plan to witness a murder. But when her life is threatened, she has no choice but to hide out under the protective care of the man she left behind.

Deputy Andri Jóhannsson has been coming to Gabby's rescue his entire life, but having her in his secluded home tests the limits of his patience. The woman has no sense of self-preservation, and he has a smuggling ring to ferret out. Except, her skill with sketchpad and pencils might be the very investigative tool he needs in order to catch the bootleggers.

With a murderer on her trail and criminals evading detection, Gabriella and Andri must set aside the past or risk its eruption. Because this time, the collateral damage might include more than losing their friendship. It might cost them the lives of those they love.

La Verità con Integrità. Truth with Integrity. The Legacy of a (Girl) Stunt Reporter.
