review 1: I must confess that I could not finish reading this book. I had high hopes, as I love cozy mysteries but this was just horrible from the get-go. It seemed promising, but I just couldn't connect with the main character, and I had to force myself to turn the page. The main character was over-the-top materialistic, shallow, self-centered and lazy. I couldn't connect with her whatsoever. This was my first and last Dorothy Howell mystery.
review 2: When I first started reading this book, I was convinced I'd hate it. I, like Haley, am a bit of a handbag junkie, but definitely not to the extent that she is! As I said, I was completely convinced this book but be whiney and far too unrealistic for me to even finish! However, I was proved wrong. Once you get past the
... more slow character developments and take Haley as 'comedic', then you're in for a good read! Intriguing, funny and pieces together very well, I'd recommend this book for those who have an interest in designer fashion. If you're looking for a serious, haunting crime novel then this is not the one for you. less

A wonderful cross between Janet Evanovich and Sophie Kinsella. Very entertaining.
