This was a funny, well-constructed little mystery that I enjoyed though sometimes I groaned at some of the stunts Lalla pulled, and got frustrated with the way she treated Caleb.  Her hot and cold treatment of him and his acceptance of her behavior just did not always sit well with me.  But, as the book progressed and more is divulged about her upbringing, it becomes easier to understand why she is burdened with some of the issues she has.I loved the voice of this story - engaging, breezy and not real subtle.  This is the 2nd book in the series, but I enjoyed it perfectly well even though I haven't yet had the opportunity to read The Dead, Red Cadillac.  Ms. Dahlke knows how to breathe life and vibrancy into her characters. The Combination of a heroine who has a mile-wide stubborn streak with an interesting setting, unusual circumstances, and small-town dynamics makes a finished story concoction that is almost impossible to put down.
