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.
