Cedardale Court, how do I love thee?Nice plot, with a twist at the end that I really didn't see coming.Main characters fully realized, with a couple of zany secondary characters.Terrifically funny in places--lots of places.Settings described just enough that you get it, without overdoing it.How could it be improved?I found 23 places where there were errors--grammar, sentences unfinished or words left out, etc.  (Example:  "She cried the entire next").  (Another example:  "...playing against the eves of the roof.")  Easily fixed by a knowledgable beta reader (me! me! pick me!).Also, some places so over-the-top that it was too difficult to suspend judgment.  I most disliked the part near the end where Chloe had a philosophical moment with her deceased mother.The secondary characters, while funny, were a little too weird (but that's just my personal taste--your mileage may differ.)  The creepy coroner...ugh!Charlie was awesome.The worst part?  This is the only book I can find on Amazon by this author.  More, please!
