ANOTHER WINNER FOR JENN MCKINKAY
I LOVE THIS SERIES, ALONG WITH HER CUPCAKE BAKERY AND HAT SHOP SERIES. I THINK MY FAVORITE IS WHICHEVER SERIES I AM READING, BUT THIS BOOK WAS SO ENJOYABLE. SULLY IS GETTING TOP MARKS IN THE FIANCE POLL, AND LINDSEY'S LIBRARIAN SKILLS AND CONNECTIONS ARE SERVING HER WELL IN DECIPHERING THE CLUES IN THE STALKING, THE MURDER, THE ASSAULT - SEE, IT IS JUST FULL OF MYSTERY. GO READ IT!

An enjoyable Series
I enjoyed reading/listening to this story. The whole series so far, has been my favorite series-- written by Jenn McKinlay. The characters are quirky and loveable and it's easy to get lost in the story. I look forward to the next book in this series.
