The characters in the book, especially the amateur sleuth lead, are interesting. The book is a fun read. It could have used some stronger editing, A lot of the same observations of the characters and suspects are repeated multiple times which slows the pace of the story a little bit. The book could have been trimmed by about 10-20 pages and been better. If you are a fan of Cozy’s, you will likely enjoy this. It gets a medium recommendation.
There were parts of this book that seemed a bit far fetched, but it was engaging, had unique, well-developed characters, and kept my interest through the whole book.
Great! Some humor and lots of investigating
Found this book to be a little silly and predictable.
Great vacation read
Nice easy murder mystery.
Too rediculous
Cute book with a decent story line. Look forward to reading next in series.
Couldn’t get through this book. Just not interested in the main character! And the going is slow!
I couldn’t finish the book. The characters were shallow and as far as I got the plot was predictable. It was a waste of time.
I little boring and predictable.
Started with this one and have bought the next in the series. Great characters, funny plots and kept my attention all through.
This mystery will keep you guessing until the end of the book. You will be surprised when the murder is finally solved.
This was a fun book to read in between the more intense books I planned to read.
A nice break.
O.K. mystery.
Liked it and plan to read other books by this author.

You were just rooting for the main character! She was always into difficulties, but still determined to carry on!
