This book was so much fun! I loved the characters and the story line. I can’t wait to read more of Jamie lees mysteries.
Good story, though I felt the author tipped her hand too obviously on the murderer. I enjoyed the details on the photography for the blog the main character writes.
Would have been more interesting the the characters were developed.
Had to continue reading to see how this story was going to end. Pretty crazy people and I don’t mean funny. Strange!
Slow to get into it but it picked in action about one third to half through it
Great book! Want to read more of the series now.
I found the main character annoying. Not sure why anyone would put up with her nosiness. There was no underlying justification for her pushing into the investigation of the murder.
Sort of a fun read because it didn’t take a lot of thought. Just so many possible criminals and it was short enough that you were not bored.
None of the characters in the story seemed to behave realistically.
Very good story
1st book I read by this author and I can’t wait to read more books by her!
I just started reading this book and found I could not stop. It is very interesting and I have not got to to the part where someone gets killed yet.
