This is a madcap murder mystery that will have you laughing and guessing until the very end.FTC Full Disclosure – A copy of this book was sent to me as part of the author’s blog tour in hopes I would review it. However, receiving the complimentary copy did not influence my review.
review 2: Nancy Cohen never disappoints! Having lived in a neighborhood with a homeowner's association, I found the scenario of snarky individuals with lots of sordid secrets not much of a stretch and I had to laugh. When the rude association president turns up dead in his home, which happens to be next door to Marla and Dalton, Marla quickly shifts from annoyed homeowner to sleuth, especially when Dalton is taken off the case due to his own conflicts with the dead man. The author takes us through a well-crafted labyrinth of clues and suspects, all of whom either had a secret of their own or knew a secret about the victim. Fast-paced fun! less
