Holly Jackson had me at "murder mystery dinner party." Highly recommend for those who loved the Good Girl's Guide to Murder series or for those who want a quick, light mystery read. I loved getting to see Pip - I mean, Celia Bourne heheh - and her friends before everything goes down. Ant is still annoying as all get out though; however, if it wasn't for his annoying comments alongside a particular sighting at the novella's conclusion we wouldn't have the events play out in the main series as they did.
