This was a fun book to read. This author takes first prize for delightfully funny metaphors ... I found myself laughing out loud at times they were so clever and witty. The plot is well constructed and even though a few of the characters were over-stereotyped, I could certainly "see" them as I read the book and Amanda was a likeable lady. I have to say I enjoyed reading this book as much as any mystery book by any author and will probably read another book by the author when I get through my backlog. I appreciated that fact that the book had hardly any gore, no boring sex scenes, and no vulgar language, thank you. I looked forward to bedtime each night so I could read the book. One thing that bothered me, personally, was the frequent reference by Amanda and Matthew about being OLD. I guess age is all in one's head, but 60, these days, is NOT old. I know some 60 year olds who are in a lot better shape than most 30 year olds, have great careers, and are more active than ever. This didn't bother me enough to mar the enjoyment of the book, but it was SO eye-rolling. The date clue problem has apparently been addressed, but I'm quite sure the address part was wrong in a few places, too. Also, the business card was found in the necktie, but all subsequent references said it was found in the shirt collar - this should be fixed. The only hole in the story was: who had the resources and motivation to move the body over to Amanda's house? Anyway, this was a very fun book to read.
