Teresa's characters are delightful. They are believable and without artifical traits designed to fit her plot.  I like the flow of her action as well.  While moving quickly, it isn't so fast that you don't have time to absorb the intent.  She doesn't make her point the hard way either.  For example, when Lizzie is trying to remember a clue, she doesn't agonize with mental questions designed to lead you along in the plot. Instead she prepares a bowl of cereal and in a very natural result of relaxing, the info she was trying to remember pops into her mind.A small question.  In the final scenes, Owen and TJ leave Lizzie at home with the admonition to lock her doors and stay inside.  Yet the killer and another person each are able to get into the house.  Twice Lizzie is told that 'everyone in town knows how worthless your locks are.'  Since TJ is her current boyfriend and Owen is the police chief, doesn't it make sense that they would take a different action if 'everybody' knows the condition of Lizzie's locks?As I said - small question - actual opinion is that this book was so good that I have the sequel and 'Cantankerous Old Coot' as well.
