The stories were cute, but overall, I found the book boring and not worth the read.
This is the first book in a series and I enjoyed it very much. It's a very lighthearted and lovely read. There are several mysteries going on in this book and they are all good but for me the best part of the book are the characters, especially the main character, the head of the no. 1 ladies detective agency. I loved reading about how she started her agency and about all the people in her life. This is a new series for me and I look forward to reading the other books in the series.
