NO BODY NO CRIME

TESS SHARPE

No Body No Crime by talented and versatile author Tess Sharpe has done it again with her multi point of view sapphic romantic thriller. The protagonists, Chloe and Mel, were together and in love six years ago when they were very young. Now, it is 6 years later, and Chloe has been in the wind, and Mel is a private investigator. When a client hires Mel to find Chloe, she reluctantly accepts the job, afraid to return to when they were together six years ago. No Body No Crime is like a puzzle with 1000 pieces. It takes time for the reader to put it all together, and when it is complete, everybody wins. Multiple timelines and points of view are effectively employed to supply details of their relationship and other events like a long-ago plane crash and even something as banal as Chloe's birthday. The novel keeps the reader involved as it moves to its conclusion. No Body No Crime proves that relationships, like mysteries, are challenging and that sometimes we all need clues to help us navigate both.
