This is an inventive premise, truthful writing, and a clever plot. Initially, I wasn't sure about this book. Not crazy about the title - is this a mystery or not? - and didn't like the opening of chapter one - way too angry. My thought: was this just going to be 200-plus pages of one pissed-off, feeling-sorry-for-herself broad? However, I stuck with it, and was very glad I did. The story-line has a gentle, easy progression, sprinkled liberally with ambiance and color. Then suddenly, wham! a lot of action. It's done well and it all works. I wound up liking the protagonist, Emmie - who has a thing about being called Emma - and believing in her plight. I also liked the fact that she is a young lady who doesn't need much help rescuing herself from situations. That's always a big plus in cozy mysteries. I would absolutely read more about Emily from St. Pete who's into wearing granny panties.
