First book in Jane Doe mystery series. Also a first by this author for me.
A more intense cozy mystery.
It keeps you guessing to the end who did it.
Lyla is likable protagonist. Secondary characters were good too. Although I wanted to slap her parents a time or two.
Will read next in series.

On Borrowed Crime is a great start of a new series by Kate Young.
Lyla Moody is an interesting character, and I’m looking forward to getting to know her.
Lyla works as a receptionist for her uncle, who is a private investigator. She is also a member of the Jane Doe book club, which is primarily known for their interests in true crime and cold cases.
When Lyla finds the decomposing body of a fellow book club member, she finds that people will work very hard to get what they want, even at the expense of loved ones.
Lyla’s fascination with true crime does not please her mother, but I can tell that Lyla doesn’t always do exactly what her mother wants her to do. I loved all the twists and turns, and even though I worked out some of the mystery, I was still gobsmacked with the reveal,
I’m really looking forward to reading more in this series.

Never doubt it, insects rule our world. They were around long before us and will be along longer after we are gone. This book is a fascinating account of the bizarre, beautiful, creepy and sometimes down right scary creatures that share their world with us.
