This book is perfect! So very perfect. I love the setting, the storyline, the characters…I love it all. I love that the five women authors join a secret society and then go about proving that they deserve to be there. Their spunk, their determination, and their knowledge show that they are not to be messed with. The Queens of Crime are just that…Queens.

I am not a good clue follower while reading, I just go where the author takes me not really paying attention to the crimes. In this book, I did just that and enjoyed the path I was going down. As the story continues, I see those clues that I missed and have those ah ha moments that pull it all together.

I recently finished listening to this.  I really like Marie Benedict’s books, and this one was ok but not one of my favorites by her.  That may have been partly because I listened to it.  She gives such vivid descriptions, I think I enjoy reading them more.  I also think it was because there were so many characters in this one.  It just seemed to push the fiction side more.
