bad language
the series gets better with each book. Characters are amusing and realistic
Written in a stule I did not find engaging.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters. The pre- and post-baby info at the beginning of each chapter was funny for me. Memory doesn’t dim the facts, but it becomes more humorous with time. A good read.
Need more like this one
Every new mother should read this one.
Charming!
I ennoyed this book very much. A new mother as a PI was something new. I’m not at all interested in babies but I found that having one in the story was ok. I am now reading book 2.
I love this stories.There cute and keep you entertained.
It reminds me of Janet Evanovich books, but cleaner.
I enjoyed the book, but must admit to frustration with the actions of the main character. As a mother of three I don’t find this storyline at all realistic. I had no interest in further books in the series.
light reading mystery.
I loved that she could have a home, husband, and new baby and still do everything she wanted to do,her mother was a great help and the story made me laugh at times and I enjoyed reading it very much. Good fun book.
This was an easy, fast read, with plenty of laughs, along with suspense. I loved the language the author used, and her characters were very real.
