I am more a romance fan than a mystery buff, but I got this book because I have many Holly Jacobs  books and have always found them to be exceptional.  I  like books with characters that you care for.  This book introduces you to one of the most lovable heroines I have read in a long time (and I average reading a book every 2 days.).  The inner thoughts had me laughing from the second page, and kept me interested and smiling all throughout the book.  The book is a genuine delight.Don't get me wrong, it is not a comedy.  It is a mystery with a well paced investigation that has clues sprinkled in throughout the book.  You will likely solve it before the heroine, but the way it is set up, you will enjoy seeing her work out the truth.  Without spoilers I can say it has a good ending, and you will be waiting for the next book in the series.I bought this book this afternoon, and did not put it down until I finished it.  I have always known Holly can write stories that can give you the full gamut of emotions, but have never seen her make a character so wonderfully off the wall as Quincy  Mac.  I have to suspect that Quincy is a favorite character of Holly's because the love of her shows in the book.  When a good writer loves the and cares for the characters in her book, it shows, and the book becomes something more than words on a page... it becomes something special... it becomes a rare treat to read.
