This book was perfect for me this week!  I loved the characters and the way it was written, citing real world people and events.  It made it feel like this was more of a spunky true crime novel, though it is actually fiction.  I thought I knew exactly what was going on and was ready for a tidy, cozy mystery style wrap up, but I was dead wrong.  It was a fun read, while also having parts that had downright 'thriller' levels of tension. Great book!
