This is actually the first Heather Wells mystery I read and I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised. Heather was very funny and I didn’t feel lost by not reading the previous novels. The plot was silly, but it was the perfect book to take to the beach.

What I Liked: Cabot gives readers a great cast of characters. They are colorful and funny with quirky personalities. Heather’s inner thoughts were very entertaining and I particularly enjoyed her relationship with Cooper. I thought the two of them shared great chemistry and their scenes together were my favorite. The mystery aspect of the novel wasn’t very suspenseful, but entertaining nonetheless. It also ended in a great way that tied everything up nicely.

What I Didn’t Like: A few of the jokes really fell flat for me and became way too repetitive. There were these pages long diatribes on silly things like man purses and cargo pants. I think one or two jokes would have sufficed. I also wasn’t a fan of the goofy song lyrics that started each chapter. I remember Cabot doing a similar thing with book excerpts in the Queen of Babble series. After the first couple, I skipped them altogether.

Star Rating: Four out of five stars
