I had mixed feelings about this book. I really liked Ainsley and Nikki individually. Their unexpected friendship was a highlight of the book. They both needed that bond. Ainsley’s overly dramatic angst about being a stripper for one year to cover her sister’s tuition was so annoying. It was never that serious. Then they turned into wannabe Nancy Drews. Their amateur sleuthing felt silly. I did like Lady Godiva’s scenes. She was hilarious. I also enjoyed the plot twist when the real killer was identified. The chick lit part of the book worked for me. It lost me with the crime solving duo storyline.
