Pleasant Day by Vera Jane Cook Tour Review
I received a print copy of Pleasant Day in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own. This post also contains affiliate links. This means if you purchase from these links I will receive a small commission based on your purchase.
Author Vera Jane Cook once again shows her talented writing with Pleasant Day. Pleasant Day is a murder mystery with plot twists that will keep you on you wanting more while on the edge of your seat.
When I first heard the title of this book it sounded like a lighthearted read. Come to find out not only is Pleasant Day the name of the main character, she is not a simple character but rather complex. This is one of those books that you think you know exactly what is going to happen next. But instead you are taken in a different direction as the book goes on.
I do not write spoilers when I do a book review. I feel this would negate the whole purpose which is to read the book. What I can tell you is Pleasant Day is a 15-year-old girl who finds out another girl in the neighborhood is found dead. From there you will read along as Pleasant tells the story from her point of view. You will want to keep reading until the end and if you can’t read it in one sitting, you will wish you could.
Thank you, Vera Jane Cook for writing a wonderful murder mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to reading more of your fantastic books!

With murder in common friendship is inevitable:
As fifteen year old Pleasant Day struggles with her mother’s distance, her father’s infidelity and the death of her best friend, she draws closer to Clarissa, an older woman with the secrets to heal her. But Clarissa has struggles of her own as she faces betrayal and seeks to come to terms with old wounds. With her unpredictable but psychic ability to ‘read people’ Clarissa uncovers the answers to a deadly crime and to Pleasant’s true identity. In the end, both Pleasant and Clarissa’s worlds are transformed by the truths they’re forced to accept.
