I read A Hint of Murder and Vigil Annie by Lia Fairchild and thought they were both fantastic, so I shrugged my shoulders and said, "who cares if this one's not my preferred genre. It's by an author whose other work I like, so I'm going to try it." I'm glad I did. The characterization was so good I found myself caring about the characters, and that's pretty much all I need to enjoy a book. I liked the characters and the insight into their personalities. I loved the humor. And Fairchild didn't let me down by including some mystery and intrigue as well. This is a light read that will make you smile and laugh, will remind you of yourself or people you know, will have you rooting for romance and wondering about how you feel, and will lead you to a satisfying conclusion. I enjoyed it whether I was supposed to or not, and I'll continue to read books by this terrific author.
