But the biggest surprise of all came at the party's end, when Annie found the amorous hostess in the gazebo--murdered.

— Vicky, 7/23/2012" I liked the characters enough to want to read more. There were some things that drove me crazy like the incessant references to various mystery book detectives and characters, but the plot was good enough to keep me interested and I wasn't able to guess the ending. "
