After reading the multiple good reviews I was a little apprehensive and honestly expected to read a "just okay" mystery.  Instead I found myself enjoying a hilarious, but very engaging, mystery that really touched the ex-housewife in me.I believe many people have suspected their significant other of cheating, but few people grab the bull by the horns like my new favorite heroine Liza Radley.  Frustrated by her inability to afford a traditional detective, and determined to find out the truth about her husband, Liza takes matters into her own hands by spying on her husband on her own.  Of course the whole spying thing is much harder than it looks in the movies and Liza ends up in several sticky (and extremely funny) situations.The story had just the right mix of comedy and pain.  Even though Liza and her new acquaintance ended up in some messed up situations that made me laugh or groan, I never forgot that Liza was going through a VERY hard period in her life.  I believe that is what I loved most about the book.  Eye Spy could have been just another cute mystery with a spunky female lead, but in my opinion it was the story of a woman who was able to overcome a really unfortunate series of events AND be something more than housewife.
