I picked this book up on a whim, after all how can you go wrong with free.  I have found some authors I really enjoy that way recently.I was pleasantly surprised, espcially for the first book in a new series.  While most would class it as chick-lit I would put it more in the light mystery genre.  The main character does seem to suffer from focus problems from time to time however, I know a number of people like that so didn't have a hard time accepting the character.  Ditto for her boyfriend and brother.  However I found the police detective a little to easy going.  That could be explained by the social status the author gave the main character.There were a few minor plot problems and a few grammar issues but all in all a clean easy read.  I sprang for the second in the series so that tells you something.  The author does admit to growing up on Murder She Wrote so that explains the plot issues to me.  The grammar may just be regional, as a southerner and a Texan I do scratch my head sometimes at New England speak.If you are looking for a light mystery and and pleasant read you should be happy with this book.  I will read more from this author and look forward to watching her grow.
