I enjoyed this book very much, the characters are fun and some of them are truly weird and help put the whole book together as a great mystery. I like how the author puts the good stuff almost in the first chapter helping to make for quick reading!
This one was just okay...Katie has gone Jessica Fletcher way too soon and her nosiness was not endearing in this one. Without giving too much away, I hope this was the last book that she harps on the B&B that will never be...it is already annoying. Not sure if I will read the next one or not.
