I enjoyed this fun mystery with a group of women names Sarah Jones. I was originally a little confused with who was who, but gave it a chance and enjoyed the characters. It was a light hearted twist on a typical murder mystery. The text threads in the box were great to read and felt authentic to the story.

A social experiment by a group of women named Sarah Jones turns deadly when one of their own is murdered and another one becomes the prime suspect. Investigating the case is a young newly-minted FBI guy who falls for another one of the Sarah's, a personal trainer, who he enlists as an informant in another crime that may or may not also have been committed by the prime suspect.

What follows is a mystery romance with a good premise, but it is hard to follow as the Sarah's are only referred to by their age—Sarah 20, Sarah 17, Sarah 27, and so on. The book is also predictable and not just in the boy-meets-girl department. So many plot details, not breadcrumbs, are dished out that the book deprives readers of the biggest joy of reading a murder mystery—using their brains to follow the clues and solve the crime.

Seven women all with the same name of Sarah Jones meet and bond. They identify each other by using their age "so as not to be utterly confused." Seventeen is the youngest and 69 is the oldest..

Wait, what if one of them is only pretending to be a Sarah Jones. Why is the FBI already searching for her. We have 7 Sarahs, 1 imposter, 2 FBI agents and , of course, a murder and a romance..

I thought the common name was an unique idea but found keeping track of who was who by the numbers was utterly confusing. I am, surprised the author kept everyone in her place. There was not much of a mystery as I quickly spotted the imposer and the murderer and saw that once again true love found its way.

I was a bit disappointed in the book because the first chapter offered so much which was not delivered. Read this book if you want any easy fluffy story.

I really had to slog thru this. It was a sweet concept of same-named characters and how they all met. It just didn't have any fire or suspense for me. Might make a nice Lifetime movie but no excitement build up.
