Thank you to Netgalley and the publishing team for sharing this ARC with me!

This is my first read for this author and I was entertained. It follows influencer and celebrity blogger Coco Cline as she navigates a murder mystery in her small town. The story was easy to follow and easy to get into though Coco wasn't the most likable MC. Her success is great but it did get very tiresome to keep reading about all the things she did on a daily basis and what she accomplished. I think the writing style did too much telling vs showing; there were too many lengthy monologues and it made Coco really annoying, real fast.

The romance drama felt pointless? In fact, I didn't see a point in her having a boyfriend at all. I thought it would add to the plot later on but it didn't. Four years and he still has his own apartment across town he won't let go? Babes, pls. If he wasn't going to give it up and propose to her by the end, which is something she clearly wanted and he "loved" her, what was the point of Hudson? Sure, he was supportive but idk, I found him fishy but I'm unsure if that will be elaborated on in future books.

I liked the idea behind the story. I think with social media being the way it is and weaving it in with a murder mystery is fun but I thought it would go differently. I wasn't too disappointed as the mystery kept me going but I find that I will likely not continue with the series. The characters didn't leave too lasting of an impression on me.'

Overall, fun and easy read but won't be continuing with the series.

I really loved this book. It was so fun and quick. Who doesn’t love a murder mystery? I loved the characters and their chemistry; it made the book even more fun to read. I was rooting for Coco and her friends the whole time!

100% worth the read!

This book has the staples of chick lit meets funny crime novel. A richer version of Evanovich's Stephanie Plum. Using her skills to dig into the murder of a client's shop assistant, Coco Cline adds a new layer to what it means to be an "influencer".

The story was well thought out, and although i had guessed the perp early on, it was still an interesting read to see how Coco got there herself. One thing i would mention is that the book is very brand heavy, which can make the main character a little bit unlikeable (maybe unrelatable?) at times, but overall it was a great read to see how skills from one job can transfer to another.

Hopefully these styles of novels can become some sort of series from the author!

After starting up her new company, Center of Attention Consulting Services, celebrity blogger Coco Cline’s new clients are about to launch the opening of their consignment shop when their store clerk Stacy turns up dead. Who killed and her and why?
An interesting cozy mystery. Would recommend

Thank you to Sarah E. Burr, NetGalley, and Level Best Books for the arc of this book.

A quick and easy read! Coco Cline is a famous influencer turned consultant in her small beach town in Delaware. When the couple she is helping to open their Antique consignment shop, it gets her thrown into the middle of a murder investigation. As she arrives at the shop one morning she stumbles upon their worker Stacy dead in a puddle of blood. She works behind the scenes to piece together everything she can find out about Stacy’s secretive life. While also trying to navigate a successful opening for her clients new shop. Will she be able to solve this murder in time for the shop to open?

What a great cozy mystery. Sarah Burr has given us a great book with a fun storyline and great well-crafted characters.

In this book, we find influencer Coco Cline working on her recent social media consulting firm. Things get tricky when she comes across a dead body. The owners of the store where their clerk Stacy is found are worried the launch of their new store will be hampered with bad reviews. So, they ask Coco to help find the killer. Now the fun begins!

This is a must-read!

OH, my goodness this is not what I expected. The main character is a social media influencer but then things worked out pretty good and things wrapped up well in the end. #FollowMe for Murder is a refreshing take on the cozy mystery genre and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Her friends reminded me on how much my friends are always up to help me out. Although I did feel some annoyance towards the characters judging her romantic life. I did not see the big reveal coming Extra points for not ending the book in the boringly predictable way that I feared it would

I didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did…and I can’t wait for the next one!

*Thank you to Netgalley for the book in exchange for an honest review*

Thank you to Net Galley for the ARC of #FollowMe for Murder by Sarah E. Burr. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole book and can't wait for more. Sarah E. Burr has a good perspective of the modern tech world and incorporating it into a mystery. Coco Cline, a social media influencer and PR consultant, finds the body of her clients' assistant, Stacy, on the floor right before a meeting with them. at their store. While the police department doesn't have any leads to go on, Coco is on a mission to do some detective work to uncover more info on Stacy. She enlists her friends to help her and they end up digging up more than Coco could have imagined.

Sarah E. Burr is a new author to me. The cover is cute and the blurb sounded interesting. I had a difficult time getting into this story particularly the first couple of chapters.

This was a very light mystery that I woudn't really call a thriller.
It's fast paced and a fun ride trying to find out along with the main character who the killer is.

Some things that didn't work for me tho:
The main character is a social media consultant which sounds interesting and fresh at first but she goes on to have these lengthy internal monologues about every little technical aspect of her job + combined with the fact she's always using or thinking about using social media, turns out it's just not very interesting to read about. To me at least.
I also didn't enjoy the pointless relationship problems.
In the beginning I thought they might have been crucial to the plot but they weren't so I don't get why they're brought up so often.
They're a lot of characters introduced where we have to read about awkward small talk that doesn't add anything to the plot and reads like they're just fillers.

It will certainly be interesting to see how this series and each character develops moving forward.

Thank you NetGalley & Level Best Books for the digital ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of #FollowMe for Murder by Sarah E. Burr. This light-hearted mystery follows a social media influencer who inadvertently gets wrapped up in a murder investigation. Coco arrives at work early one morning to find the body of her client's young assistant on the floor. The police can't seem to find any realistic suspects so Coco enlists the help of her best friends Jasper and Charlotte to investigate. Fast-paced and laugh-out-loud funny, I finished this in one sitting and can't wait for the next one in this series.

Coco Cline is a blogging guru with a booming online presence and her own social media firm, whose world is rocked when she discovers a dead body in the back room of her clients' shop. It's her job to help the Chens launch their business - no matter the cost - so, in an effort to speed along the investigation, Coco takes it upon herself to solve the mystery of who killed Stacy Lockner, along with the help of her two best friends, Charlotte and Jasper, and her boyfriend, local hotshot news anchor, Hudson. I really liked this mystery, and thought it was a unique premise for the modern age - an influencer turned amateur detective is not exactly a plot you see every day. So looking forward to seeing more of this series in the future!

I am recommending this book for our school library because it brings the classic genre of murder mystery into the 21st century with terms and situations that are relatable and fresh. As an educator coming up on year 3 of this pandemic, this is exactly what I was looking for in a modern, cozy mystery with some romance peppered in but not so much to be fluffy or dumb. The murder happens close to the beginning of the book, so it really felt like an inclusive case where I could try and solve right along with the book characters. I also really how everything wasn't predictable. The mystery itself was compelling and full of twists. I also enjoyed Coco's friend group and the relationship they had. They were funny and a bit overly dramatic- but it was endearing in the same way the show "Search Party" is. I appreciated the ending of the book. There were some moments while reading this that kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn't predict how it would pan out, but thought it was well done and made sense. I highly recommend this as a fun read and one for the Murderinos of the world. I will read this author again for sure and I hope she does another about Coco and her friends!

With #FollowMe for Murder, Sarah Burr takes another buzz-worthy step forward in the cozy mystery world. Protagonist Coco Cline is a popular lifestyle blogger and social media influencer. But when a young woman is murdered at the shop one of Coco's clients owns, she adds detective to her list of job qualifications. With the help of Hudson, her hunky boyfriend, who may or may not have a commitment problem, and her friends Jasper and Charlotte, Coco takes a look behind the curtain on the seemingly peaceful beachfront town of Central Shores, Delaware and finds not all is what it seems.
In ways both bad and good.
Ms. Burr has her finger right on the pulse of the generation who grew up with technology and with the Internet a single click away. Coco uses her phone and tablet hand in hand with her keen intellect and sharp eye for detail to unearth clues and identify suspects. Who knew you could learn so much about people by digging into their social media footprints? Coco sure does, and she uses that skill to find clues, spot liars, bring the murderer to justice.
I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced read and lost a lot of sleep because I didn't want to put it down at the end of the day. I can't wait to find out what's next for Coco and her crew. Treat yourself to a visit to Central Shores. Just be careful about what kind of social media trail you leave behind, especially if you’re up to something you’d rather keep under wraps!

Thanks NetGalley for this arc. CoCo Cline has her own successful social media firm. When she is hired to assist with a grand opening of a store she stumbles across a dead woman. Can CoCo help the investigation or will she hinder it? The plot of this story sounded right up my alley and it was. I thought the blogger element was well portrayed as social media is so prevalent now a days. I wasnt sure how I felt about CoCo at first but she grew on me and I enjoyed this modern mystery. My only con is that I thought the writing style was a bit off, some of the grammar choices were weird and it became a little distracting.

#Followme for Murder was a fun cozy murder mystery. At first it was slow and all about Coco Cline and her social media but towards the middle I was hooked. I like how the murder happened in the beginning and not in the middle. Mrs. Chen character annoyed me a little and I had suspicions about the Chens. I thought I knew who it was but then I would be wrong. This book kept me guessing and actually finished the book in one day. I had to know who the murderer was. I love Coco and her friend group. I definitely will recommend this book! First book read by Sarah E. Burr and won’t be the last!
Thank you NetGalley and Level Best Books for the digital ARC.

To be honest, I didn't think this was going to work out. Because Coco is an influencer and famous blogger, I was afraid that if she helped the cops solve Stacy's case, she would absolutely screw it up and possibly jeopardize the investigation. I'm relieved to report that I was mistaken! Although she does assist the police, she does so in a professional manner. It was, without a doubt, a fantastic read.

Sean and Olivia, who are Coco clients, are getting ready to establish their specialty consignment shop. One day, Sean and Olivia were running late and ordered Coco to go ahead and open the shop, which she did. However, when Olivia went to the break room to get napkins for the lunch she had brought for them, she discovered Stacy, the store clerk, dead. She was undoubtedly questioned and assumed to be a suspect because she was the first to find her, but she was later proven innocent. They must now pursue Sean and Olivia as suspects. Coco will go to any length to get them declared innocent because she believes they are. But are they? Is it possible that someone close to her is her assassin? What will happen when they discover what Stacy was doing these past few months?

Coco Cline, a popular blogger is the star of #FollowMe for Murder. Central Shores is a sunny beach town, the perfect place for coco and her perfect boyfriend Hudson to settle down. When a murder is committed, coco is unlucky enough to discover the body and soon gets herself deeply involved in the case. With a little help from her friends, coco does some sleuthing of her own, and central shores might not be the safe haven she thought!

I found coco to be such a vivacious young woman intent on discovering the truth behind the murder. The little glimpses we get into her personal life are just enough to get a good feel for who she is as a person. I felt her sidekicks were relatable, I can envision their characters strongly. Everyone knows a Jasper and Charlotte!
As the truth is uncovered there were a few little red herrings in there to keep me on my toes - which is always appreciated!
Overall the book is a lovely lighthearted mystery, perfect for the modern day Nancy Drew!

Thank you NetGalley & Level Best Books for the digital ARC.

#FollowMe for Murder is a light-hearted, cozy, small-town mystery — 28-year old influencer, Coco Cline plays detective as she hunts a murderer on loose after finding someone dead in her client’s store. She must save the newly established business’ reputation while saving herself from the dangerous killer.

Coco is smart, beautiful and funny but fairly short-sighted for a person who is the sole witness of the corpse. But, her friends & boyfriend have her covered. It was interesting to watch the gang solve the mystery together & having Coco’s back. The kinda friendship we live for.

Just wish the killer was someone less predictable (despite all the red herrings) but nonetheless, the pace & revelations kept me on the edge.

P.S: Brownie points for Jaspers’ wits — easily my favorite character from the book & also all the bookish & show/movie references 🙌🏻

An ok read. I realize the main character is a social media influencer but it was tiresome to read about all her accounts and she had her nose in her phone the entire time. I also didn’t particularly care for Coco. She was very self absorbed and not all that likable. I’ll pass on this series.
