Ding Dong! Is She Dead?: Nova Ladies Adventures Book 1 by Alathia Paris Morgan is a murder mystery. Allie witnesses a murder and is sent into Witness Protection. She settles into her new life and her new job as a Nova Lady, but discovers her friend beaten and bloody when she goes to deliver an order. Her husband has beaten her badly and fled the scene, but he is a police officer and it looks as if the force may be covering up for him. Several attempts on her life, Megan’s and a police officer, along with the job of looking after her friend Megan’s daughter, Sally, leave Allie wondering if there is any safe place for her to hide. Until she meets Justin. Is he the real deal or is he on the side of Megan’s husband? Was it a chance encounter? And who is helping Megan’s husband to hide?

Ding Dong! Is She Dead?: Nova Ladies Adventures Book 1 by Alathia Paris Morgan was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I very much enjoyed the story; the plot was clearly developed and ran a natural course. The characters were well written and, as the first book, it shows great promise for a series. However, what let it down a little for me was how it was written. It was so formal and it felt like I was reading a statement. There was a little too much description for some parts and I feel that it needs to be made a little less formal. But, I did enjoy the story and I would like to read any future books in the series.
