I'm not sure how I missed hearing about this series, but I'm glad my husband found this book for me. Now, to get the rest of the series and start from the beginning! Even though this was book 6, I followed the storyline just fine. I think reading the earlier books would help, but it was not a necessity to enjoying this one. All of the characters were interesting, and the mystery kept me guessing until the end. It reminded me somewhat of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. I will definitely read more of this series!
Funny, clever, and full of interesting twists. I loved the dresses! There were a few parts closer to the end I wasn't thrilled with, but over all I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

These books seem so fluffy and shallow and then they end up sneaking up on you with some heavy stuff. I think it makes the books a little hard to classify and so you have to be in a pretty specific mood to read them. The endings almost always redeem these.
The sixth outing for the Blackbird sisters.
Nora suffered a miscarriage. She is now engaged to Michael Abruzzo, son of a notorious New Jersey mobster.
In this book, former child star Penny Devine goes missing. Penny's brother, Porter "Potty" Devine, throws a memorial party and polo match instead of a funeral. Nora finds what could be Penny's severed hand and this puts a damper on the festivities.
More frothy fun.

I am a huge fan of the Blackbird sisters mysteries, I have read each of them as soon as they were released and will be pre-ordering the next installment 'MURDER MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH'. I am saying all this to say that although 'A CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED DEATH' was not my favorite book in the series it is still very much a series worth reading.
Having said that, I found that 'A CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED DEATH' was somewhat repetitive. There was nothing fresh in this storyline, the mystery was just okay and I am ready for Nora and Mick to move away from the stalemate their relationship seems to be in. Either they need to move on (hopefully not forever) and explore other options or agree that opposites attract and move their relationship to the next level. Also I am ready to see Nora's sister Emma developed a little further. She is such an interesting character and, in my opinion, is not being used to her potential.
I look forward to reading more of this series and seeing where these characters that the fans of this series have grown to know and love will end up but I am ready for Nancy to mix it up a bit and catch the readers off guard!
