It took me a bit to get into the book. That may have been my fault for thinking It was suppose to be a comedy and found it was not. When I realised it was more of a cozy mystery then I found myself enjoying it. I didn’t realize this book is the fourth or so of an ongoing series until I started reading. I’m unsure if I’ll read any others in the series, but for the record, it is not necessary to read them in order to understand the story.
It was Okay but I didn’t find it particularly funny or fast moving. I would give it a 3
The whole premise was too unlikely.
I should have known that I wouldn’t like a book compared to Janet Evanovich. If you like Stephanie Plum you’ll probably like it.
A little to dark for me.
The books are getting better within the series. I had a hard time with the first one, but now I like the series.
