An intricate mystery with interesting characters, humor and a touch of romance. This combination makes for a fun and complex story that will leave you wanting more. The cliff hanger ending helps.

The story is very detail oriented making the reader

A Highly Recommended Read.

What a fun book! It was a fast book that kept my attention til the very end! Loved the quirky characters and the mystery! In some ways Kat reminded me of Stephanie Plum. I really enjoyed the book!
An original story with a bit of a different twist on amateur sleuthing. I did get attached to the characters who are wonderful, and the story is a really good one for many upcoming sequels.

This was an interesting read. Written as a 1st person single pov. This looks to be part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. This mystery was completed, but hinted at more to come.
Overall, the story concept was good, but the story could have been tightened up. Some parts just did not add to the progression of the story line and I found myself skipping parts to get back into the flow of the story. However, some descriptions needed to have stronger explanations and the descriptions were weak. I did like the characters (esp. Grand).
That being said, I am curious as to what will happen in the next book.
Would I recommend this book? Sure
Would I read more from this author? Probably
