Cozy mysteries are a guilty pleasure of mine and I'm always happy to find a new, or at least new to me, series of them.  The Lacy Steele books will keep me occupied for a bit I think.I see some reviewers are unhappy with the book because of the weak motive of the killer or the unreality of Lacy's relationship with the police.  it's a cozy, not a police procedural.  Agatha Christie got the ball rolling with this type of police/amateur relationship with Miss Marple and it's part of the appeal of the genre.  I understand why some people won't like that, but it's not fair to mark a book down for adhering to one of the cornerstones of it's type.Being a guy, I have to say the book is a little more romancey than I care for generally, but I'll most likely read the rest of the series anyway.
