I read this book a few days ago.I went right out and bought her first one because this was so great a read. This author is going to be big. It has been years since I have read dialogue so funny I was laughing through this book. I am keeping her books to reread when I need a good laugh. So far, I can only find 2 books by her listed.

I read this on a plane and was laughing out loud the whole way. I had to read passages to my husband, who smirks at the romance novels I read. The humor, great dialogue, ROMANCE, and story - terrific! The chemistry of the hero and heroine jumps off the page from the start. I read Damsel in This Dress and loved it equally. Ms. Stillings has a way with words and I can't wait to read her third book when it comes out.

I picked this book up on a whim and boy am I glad! If you loved Clue as a kid or just crave a hillarious and well written story, this is the book for you! The dialogue both internally and between characters was brilliantly written and the author gives beautifully lyrical description.
One of the main characters , Thomas Heyworth, has just died. He was a reclusive, odd, rich, mystery writer. Since he has no heirs to leave his millions and Mayhem Manor to he stages a treasure hunt to determine the winner. He pairs up people from his past into teams, stages clues, and sets a time limit. But a new twist is added since Thomas was murdered. Just before he died he knew who was going to make an attempt on his life and sends letters letting the contestants know that the murderer will be revealed by the winning contestants...and that one of the people in the room with them is the killer. Will the killer be revealed or will our charcters fall prey to the suspicions of one another and do each other...in? Read and find out! I'm not telling!

I really enjoyed this book. It's a mystery without being too creepy, a romance without being too sappy, and has a good bit of humor thrown in, too. I will certainly recommend this in the future.

Not my normal style of book, but I quite enjoyed it. It was full of nice dialogue, great interactions between the hero and heroine without being too 'smutty', nice writing. I would recommend even to people who aren't usually a fan of this genre.

My second read of Marianne Stillings & she's already on my list of favorites. Another funny, different read. Smart & fun! If you liked The Westing Game as a child you will love this book.
