    Finally got there!
    I was a little over half way through the book and thought that I just couldn't finish the book. Then, the pieces started to come together. The individual storylines didn't seem as disconnected. I found some substance in the main characters. Olivia moved away from the meek secretary to a junior detective role. Aubrey Merritt moved from an unpleasant boss to a true detective. I know this review sounds negative; but I do hope it's Book 1 in a series about these mismatched women who fit together perfectly.

    Good beach read
    This book is well written, the characters are quite likeable and the story line is good. It was a little light for me but for those looking for a break from heavy reading, this could be a perfect choice.

    Fun but not great
    I am an avid reader of murder mysteries and thrillers. For me they are excellent escapes from everyday life and I love trying to solve the puzzle with the clues the given by the author. In this book, I found the main characters to be contrived and too similar to Stephen Spotwood's Lilian Pentecost and Will Parker. While well-plotted, the story didn't move along quickly enough for me.

    That said, I think writing a book is a major accomplishment and I'm in awe of anyone who does it and gets it published. If you want a murder mystery that is gore-free, and minimal hooks and twists, this is a great book for you.
