Piper Donovan, our main character in this great read by, Mary Jane Clark, is set for another adventure. Piper is asked to make a wedding cake for, Jillian Abernathy. Jillian's family owns the luxury spa, "Elysium," in California. Of course that would mean Piper would have to leave home for a while, but maybe that would be a good thing. After all, Jack and her were having some misunderstandings, and her mom and dad were getting too use to her being around. Yes, Piper would accept.

Of course, where Piper goes murder follows and this is still the case at the swanky Elysium. Not one murder but several take place and Piper is right in the heart of the matter. How could all of this happen in such an exclusive establishment and why? And so the fun begins!

This is the second book I have had the honor to read and review in this series and I love them. I find the character of Piper to be a darling. She is spunky, fun and smart, even though she allows herself to be drawn into things she would be better off not to. This mystery was great because the murders kept happening and I found myself trying to figure out who out of the characters would want to kill all of these people. I loved the way the author brought the spa to life in the story. I enjoyed reading about the local, the beautiful cottages, delicious meals, sitting around the pool, and of course let's not forget the massages. Who would have thought such a thing would happen to woman in a place like, Elysium. Shocking!

This was a great book. It was entertaining, quick paced, great characters, great local, and had a twisting exciting mystery plot. Yet, it was light and airy as well. and down to earth in character development. I felt as if I knew personally every character in the story. Not easy for a book to do all that, but this one did. I love the Piper Donovan Mystery books and look forward to the next one. Well done, excellent read.
