5 stars

Melissa Craig Is an intelligent and witty sleuth. I love how she insinuates herself into the middle of things and helps to solve the mystery. I look forward to the next book.

Another good mystery!

I like the narrator a lot but she makes all the men sound like they’re 100 years old. Other than that , I enjoy listening to her. The characters are always so unique and interesting. The plot is attention grabbing and the ending usually surprises me by who did it or why.
