Thank you to Crooked Lane Books, NetGalley, and the author for the review copy of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

As the first book in the Jane Doe Book Club mystery series, On Borrowed Crime provides an introduction to the town of Sweet Mountain Georgia and its residents. When one of the women in the Jane Doe book club begins to look into real-life Jane Does found in the area, Lyla Moody finds herself pulled into a mystery right out of one of their book club reads.

This was an entertaining, quick mystery. There were enough clues and red herrings to keep me invested in the mystery while I read. However, there was one thing that bothered me about this book. The Jane Doe Book Club chose And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie as their book so it is referenced quite a bit. I really liked that the author chose such a classic mystery to reference, but the ending is spoiled multiple times. While it was a way to weave the book club pick into the mystery itself, the murderer in Christie’s mystery is identified more than once. There could have been a way to use it without spoiling it, especially since people may want to read And Then There Were None after finishing On Borrowed Crime.
