Being a big chick-lit fan and Red Dress Ink fan this book was right up my alley. It was a cute story about a girl who was being framed for the murder and attempted murder of three of her ex-boyfriends that dumped her in horrible ways like catching one in the bedroom at her birthday party with a woman's lips attached in the midsection. Ouch!! Not a fun way to find out about the other woman!

When did Abby Foote's life become an episode of Law & Order?
Abby has a terrible track record with boyfriends. As the book opens, her current boyfriend just leaves her at a Land's End when they were supposed to be attending her nephew's bris. The dude just freaks out about a baby circumcising party. Of course, everyone at the party is all, "Abby knows how to pick them!"
Granted, Abby's boyfriends suck. One tackled her so that she wouldn't catch the bouquet More...

I keep a list of book recommendations with me. Someone had recommended this book to me a while ago. I don't remmember but I have a few guesses.
I bought it for my Kindle, which prevented me from looking at the book cover.
After the first chapter I started to worry. In the second chapter I started to get angry. By the third chapter I was, quite frankly MAD!!!
If I ever find out who played this prank on me, he or she is going to get it.
This is a chick book. All fluf. More...

Abby Foote has horrible luck with boyfriends. She's been dumped by email, at her own birthday party, and most recently inside an LL Bean. She just can't seem to find a good man - so she's more than happy when Benjamin Orr, her high school crush, walks into her office one day. But it turns out Ben's a detective, and he's come to see Abby to investigate her for murder. It seems one of her ex-boyfriends has turned up dead, and as the spurned ex-girlfriend, Abby's the prime suspect. When two more of

Fast pace read (I finished it in one day). Likable characters. Abby has the worst taste in guys and seems to get dumped in the most humilating ways. When a former boyfriend is found murdered the day his engagement is announced Abby ends up as the number one suspect. When it is discovered that two other ex's had attempts made on their lives Abby is the only suspect. She determines it is up to her to solve the crimes and find the real killer.

Honestly it wasn't bad or painful to read (unless Abby was doing something embarrassing, which turns out to be quite a lot), but I guess it just wasn't even close to the wow factor. Or yeaaahh this is good, go read it! It's more like, read it if you want, and if you don't, then whatever. Her character annoyed be a bit, and the things she did sometimes made me cringe. But I didn't dislike this book or anything.

I was bored out of my mind with this book, just wanted it to be over!
Abby is soooo stupid!, she's a doormat for all of her boyfriends (if the author expected me to feel sorry for her it didn't work, she deserves everything that happened to her for being so dumb), her "family" treats her like crap all the time and she allows it!
The police officers were totally unprofessional with her and she didn't say anything... but the worst of all was the way she kept thinking like More...

I really enjoyed reading this book. If you're currently dating and had a string of bad dates or relationships, this book is highly entertaining. A little bit of mystery, lots of humor and a little romance all tied into one easy, fun read.

A super fun book! This was a great example of what "chick lit" should be. Lots of interesting characters, a full-fledged back-story, great chemistry, and a mystery to boot! Highly enjoyable!

Light, frothy read proves every bit as predictable as you might think. But entertaining nonetheless.

3.5 stars. This book was really between three and four stars for me. At times I really loved it and wanted to give it four stars and a few times the main characters overly "lovey" thoughts about her detective drove me batty. The way her family treated her also irritated me. Over all though, I really loved the fast pace and the humor of the book, plus the mystery kept me guessing so I recommend it as a fun light mystery.

Abby Foote is suspect number one when her ex-boyfriends start turning up dead. She never expected that. She also didn't expect that the person who would be investigating her (maybe a little too closely for comfort) would be Benjamin Orr, her high school crush. But Benjamin isn't about to let a suspect get away with murder, especially if he thinks there might be someone else behind all the mayhem.

This was a fun mystery with a great pace and lot of humor. And I could not figure out who the killer was until the heroine figured it out, too.

silly, some funny bits, but mostly a lot of the same thing over and over. I skipped about 20 pages near the end and was just fine.
An OK read if you want to be able to pick up and put down while sitting on a beach towel, but don't really have to pay attention.

This book is for anyone who likes chick lit and mysteries. I thought the characters were endearing, and relatable. The plot kept me interested not only in the mystery but the possible love connection between Abby and Ben.

A fast-paced murder mystery with some humor and romance thrown in. There are a few choice pg-13 scenes and some bad language, however. It was not offensive to me, but I would not recommend it to my mother. ☺

Fun and entertaining despite the fact that the plot is a bit similar to Meg Cabot's "Heather Wells Mysteries" series. I'm not complaining though, I read it in one day and didn't want to put it down.

Really enjoyed it, though I think I prefer the Jaine Austen series. However, since there is supposed to be a new "Abby Foote" mysery coming out in early 2008, and I will probably dig into that, too!

Abby Foote becomes the prime suspect when her ex-boyfriend is murdered, and the detective is her teen years' crush. Very cute read. I look forward to the release of more Abby Foote mysteries in the future.

Fast, easy read. I liked the main character, Abbey Foote. She was sarcastic and funny. Not a lot of character development other than that....but an entertaining read regardless!

This was a cute quick read. Definitely not her best work, but a good way to pass the time. Some parts were a little dull but I managed to trudge through them.

I remember my boss being worried about my love life when I explained the plotline. Like I reading this as self help and not just for fun.
