small spoilersI knew what I was buying,  and didn't expect great art.  I just wanted something frothy to while away an hour or two. And this is a sweet enough book,  our hero is suitably stoic and sexy,  (and the sheriff,  alliteration all round!) and our heroine has a great reason for all her secrets.  It just wasn't as engaging as I had hoped.  I frankly didn't care about who cooked the books (all puns intended) and having a local mystery piled on top of the mystery of Carly herself just felt a bit belabored.If you want a zany mystery romance,  Jenny Crusie does it betterAgnes and the Hitman
