It's light entertainment; she's heavy on the cliches, but can write a decent story line and develop her characters; no real surprises. ( )

Newlywed, Claire has enough trouble finding the perfect house, but it gets worse when her realtor end up dead. The plot was interesting but its execution did not leave a lot of mystery. ( )

I hated this book. Usually I will give up on a book that I detest, but for some reason, I kept thinking that it had to get better. It didn't.
I loathed Claire. I loathed every character in this novel, it seemed that not one of them had a redeeming feature.
Claire was quite possibly the most self-centered, egotistical, uncaring, selfish protagonist I have ever come across.
All the sentences were super short. I doubt that a comma was ever needed. The flow was stilted. Just like this paragraph.
I give this book one star and the caution; don't waste your time. ( )

This nicely twisting plott made me laugh out loud. The 'bad guy' was well hidden among all the other characters. Caron and Inez add their own variety of comedy that well reflects dealing with teenaged girls. ( )
