I managed to read through three quarters of this book before giving up as it just wasn't going to get any better.I could forgive the constant Marilyn Monroe comparisons between Mercy and her mom and the obsession with different foods and eating places but the lack of any real direction to the plot just did it for me.What her profession as a nurse had to do with anything and the random family connections and the constant unwanted attention from men because of her startling resemblance to the iconic movie star and her generous chest all must haveseemed like a good idea at the time but as a whole they make Mercy a rather uunbelievable, not very likeable and unrelateable lead character. Added to that a dull story about a family friend and a murder she isn't even investigating and all sounds okay but really is isn't , sorry but this one isn't worth reading and I won't be looking out for the author again except perhaps to avoid them.
