" definite fluff, but a quick and easy read; simple, fairly enjoyable. "
— Jennifer, 12/15/2013 -
" This was a fun mystery. Still I didn't figure everything out until the end. "
— Lesley, 10/10/2013 -
" I chose this book for its "brain-candy" potential--and it did not disappoint in that regard. It was a good story, but the brand-name dropping was quite tedious--as were the abundant, detailed clothing descriptions. Less is more. It would make a good Lifetime TV movie :). "
— Beckie, 9/25/2013 -
" Too much description and label name dropping. Who cares if the toe-nail polish was Chanelle? "
— Barb, 9/25/2013 -
" This is a good light read murder mystery- keeps you guessing a bit. "
— Jennifer, 7/31/2013 -

" Not bad--the references to all the designer stuff got boring after a while but it was a fun, light read. "
— Lee, 12/20/2012 -
" I enjoy a good murder mystery ... Too soon to tell if this one is actually good. Maybe it's good psychological thrillers I enjoy. :) "
— Sue, 9/11/2012 -
" This was a very light entertaining mystery. She is a good storyteller. "
— Christina, 5/20/2012 -
" This book was ok. It went on and on in the beginning and then it tells you the story. Then the ending. There was no telling you what happened to the person who did it and then it was over. "
— Tiffani, 2/7/2012 -
" Fun, fun, fun! A perfect beach read! "

" Never read anything by this author, so will see how it goes. Just on page 5.<br/><br/>Well, I finished. It was okay for a very, very, light read. I don't know that I would read another by this author. It did not "grab" me and really hold my attention. "
