3 and a half. I read this on my trip home from Utah. Cute mystery as expected--nothing earth-shattering.

Entertaining, but not particularly noteworthy and not much of a mystery. Some of the characters were funny and/or likeable, others were just annoying. Also, I just don't get rich people. Audiobook was read by the author, so that's nice.

I enjoy the Regan Riley series. They are funny light-hearted reads. These books always have such quircky characters. The mystery is pretty easy to figure out, but they are enjoyable.

It was ok, I didn't like the end and how quickly everything is zipped up.

If you need proof that mysteries can be written without reliance on lots of gratuitous sex or unnecessary profanity, this author provides that proof. Amateur leuth Regan Reilly comes across throughout this series as a genuinely nice person despite her somewhat privileged upbringing. In this book, she must find out who is stealing works of art from homes in Aspen dring the Christmas season. To make matters worse, the main suspect in the thievery seems to be a caretaker she recommended for the job of caring for a friend's winter home.

I thought the dialogue between the two villains seemed a little forced in spots, but this is a nice, short cozy mystery read that will make for a pleasant reading session, if not a memorable one.

This was the first Carol Higgins Clark book that I read, and I actually really enjoyed it. It was a fun mystery with a good setting. I tried other books of hers and just could not get into them.

Definitely better than the first two Regan Reilly mysteries. The dialog is a little awkward in places. But a pretty decent mystery. I'm willing to try the next book in the series.
