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!
