A lot of unnecessary romance between characters that feels very out of place. I think this book could have been about 100 pages shorter without all the filler.

I enjoyed this one. It was fast and slightly comical. I liked the main character and her grandmother was the best! I didn't like the voice in Lucy's head, though. It was distracting and could have been left out.

I haven't really dipped into Mysteries very much but I loved this one.

Story keeps you guessing.

Characters are funny and relatable(not the murdering your best friend way).

Mild spice. Mild romance. Good thriller.

I very much recommend the audible version. Very good voicing.

Entirely too long. The end started to pick up speed but the middle of the book nearly caused me to DNF.

I really liked this most of the way through, in spite of significant sex and language, but the ending was so out of left field and left so many threads hanging that I just was super annoyed.
