Synopsis

A wisecracking mystery writer and one of Boston’s richest bluebloods share only one tie: her lifelong friend is his twin sister. When someone murders Cece Swann, Eja and Deming become the most uncommon team of sleuths in ye olde bean towne.

Cece had everything—looks, brains, and money galore. Her love of life was legendary, as was her rampant fear of heights. Leaping off a building was the last thing she would ever do. When she dies that way, Eja and Deming know it was neither suicide nor an accident.

Partnering to catch her killer plunges the pair into a major relationship shift. Gone is the exasperating big-brother figure from Eja’s girlhood; now she’s confronted with an irritating, irresistible grown man. Eja isn’t gorgeous, blue-blooded, or glamorous; she’s battling a few extra pounds and a set of lowered expectations about life in general and men in particular. But when it comes to loyalty and courage, she’s as tough as a junkyard dog and twice as likely to bite. Can she resist taking a chunk out of her arrogant partner during the search for CeCe’s killer?

Deming’s film star looks and sense of entitlement drive her crazy. Now, however, the rules between them change as they unravel the trail of a ruthless murderer.

Goodreads review by David on May 19, 2014

Swann Dive is the first book in a mystery series, featuring a wonderful pair of amateur sleuths, Eja Kane and Deming Swann. Eja is a bright and brassy mystery writer, while Deming is the dashing scion of a bluest of blue blood Boston Brahmin family. They played together as children, along with Demin......more

Goodreads review by Lou on April 04, 2024

This is my first romantic suspense/mystery that's focused more on the mystery. I enjoyed the story and the mystery...I had my suspicions of who did it the entire time but I ended up getting it wrong. I enjoyed the pacing but as a typical romance reader, the romance fell flat (yes I know it isn't tec......more
