The Man Across the Alley by Emilie Barage

 ABOUT THE BOOK:  After breaking up with her long-time boyfriend, Holly Harrison finds the perfect distraction for heartache by reading stories about true crime on her favorite blog: Murder For Your Thoughts. But when a number of young women from her neighborhood go missing, Holly is determined to help anyway she can. Distraction number two arrives in the form of the yummy new neighbor, who sports tight buns and terrific shoulders.

Luke Morris is finally all moved into his new apartment—and should focus on unpacking—not the hot next-door neighbor Holly. While getting to know her, he witnesses something suspicious in the building across the alley. Working together, he and Holly decide to get to the bottom of things.

Who would believe that crime solving could lead to some seriously steamy nights?  

Our Review: Set in one of Chicago’s unique neighborhoods, The Man Across the Alley is a fun, cozy mystery featuring two twenty-somethings who decide the man across the alley has something to do with the disappearance of several women from the neighborhood. Proving their theories turns dangerous for both. First time author Barage shows a remarkable talent for creating creepazoid bad guys who practically jump off the page. We look forward to the next story in her Murder For Your Thoughts series.

On a scale of 1-5, The Man Across the Alley deserves a 4.
