The Smart Woman's Guide to Murder by Victoria Dowd

"It's a magnificent house to hide a killer."
A well done murder that kept me guessing. I definitely liked the crazy twists and the fun in the story. But the characters really are pretty awful. They typically don't have any thing nice to say, so they are constantly belittling, insulting, swearing or otherwise tearing down everyone around them. It was hard to remember that the MC was 25.....But, when I decided to just ignore most of that, the story sucked me in. I was completely wrapped up in trying to figure out who did what because so many pieces weren't fitting together. I did enjoy the end, even though Mr. Bojangles never got adorable and her insulting her mom, aunt or not aunt or godmother never got funny.
