Truth be told, this really isn't a bad book, and in other circumstances I probably would have given it a 4 or a 5. But alas, it is not one of my favorite genres, so it was a bit slow for me to get through it. Anyone who is really into mysteries and thrillers would probably enjoy this.

The cover is misleading, making it seem as if this would be a lighthearted romp. Don't get me wrong, I don't just look for light, humorous reading, but if that's what the cover looks like it would be, it's a little disappointing when it's not what you expect. (

I love a good mystery. I decided to try out fraud mystery and I wasn't disappointed. I knew who the accomplice was about half way through, but didn't learn the identity of the mastermind until near the end. I love that. I like to be kept quessing who it is until the end otherwise the story just doesn't hold my interest. I am certainly going to be reading this entire series. (

This book was fast-paced and a nail-biter all rolled into one. For those who like suspense and like some humor you will enjoy this. (

A fun mystery. I enjoyed the characters and want to continue the series to see how the relationships develop. (
