review 1: I liked this book much more than the first two books. There was a bit of a braggart in the main character that wasn't there in this book and I saw more humorous interaction between some of the characters, a dry wit, that I really enjoyed and hope I see more of in future books. The plot of the mystery was so-so. I didn't guess the ending, but the ultimate motivation of the murderer felt pretty weak to me. Still, if this book is indicative of future instalments in the series, I'd say the series is improving and I'll look forward to reading the next book to find out.
review 2: Amateur sleuth meets amateur author and comes across as rather immature. I love a good old-fashioned murder mystery, yet this one fell quite-short of my expectations. The main character ... moreis supposedly someone who has lived a little: a couple husbands and subsequent divorces under her belt, her own business, a few scrapes with death. You would think this kind of background would make for an interesting character with some depth. I felt like I was reading a book for tweens. And her thoughts and actions towards the multiple men in her life felt like something straight out of the halls of a middle school. less
