My Review

I thought this was a cute, cozy mystery read. This book was also a fast read for me as well. This book had the right amount of intrigue and mystery to keep me interested. 

The relationship between Rebecca’ and Nick was a nice one. Nick's jealous side came out a little bit with the appearance of Rebecca’s Ex 'fiancé. Yet, I can't really blame him as no one wants to have their current beau's ex come around. 

Aneksi is kind of the star of the story, well in my eyes. She really helped to solve the case. The rest of the characters are good, but I felt a locking strong connection to them. Yet, I liked this book enough that I would go back and check out the prior books in this series.
