This has been THE best cozy mystery I've read yet!!! The characters are SO good and the plot had me ON MY TOES. Leila the protagonist was ACTUALLY smart yet realistically human in her emotions and reactions, and I loved that so much. Characters being realistic is hard to come by! I had whole physical reactions over some of the tense scenes!! I was so thrown through the wringer! This book was SO GOOD I'm looking into the next ones ASAP!!!

BTW the other comments about Leila complaining are being UNFAIR. Her dad JUST got KILLED, show some sympathy!!! She becomes steadfast and determined very soon, it isn't a whole book of being upset!!!
