Life is somewhat settling down for cafe and bookstore owner Krissy Hancock - that is, until her famous murder-mystery-writing father decides to come to town for a visit. Of course, things can never go well in Krissy's world, and a whirlwind evening ends with her father becoming the #1 murder suspect in the vanilla-scented untimely death of his very own agent - who, hours before, found himself unceremoniously fired for being a creeper and all around disliked person. With the town divided over her father's innocence and suspicions being thrown left and right, Krissy may need to cross paths with her ex-flings and enemies if she hopes to clear her father's name and stop a killer before they write their deadly sequel?
This was one of the better installments in this series so far. I was wondering if Krissy's father was going to make an introduction into this series and was a little bit surprised he appeared so soon in what is now a 15-book series. I just know Krissy is going to mess up her current relationship and I'm a little mad about it because Will seems like a great fit for her, but I have a sinking feeling Paul will continue to meddle in her affairs, and they'll get together at some point. I am also ready to personally fist fight Rita - she is so outlandishly nosy and I would have had a smackdown over her over half of the things she did in this book. Overall, another nice addition to this universe and I just know Krissy will get herself into so much trouble in the next one.
