Guilty pleasure author. She very rarely disappoints when you need some distraction. Always a few laugh out load scenes or comments. Grab it for the beach or the plane.

Light reading, fun to stay up all night with, but no need to ever read it again....

Saw an interview with the author. She said that a dear friend of hers was cheated on by her husband, so the girl friend came to stay with the author and they plotted against him. Best way to get even with him was to "murder" him in her novel! This is a funny and enjoyable murder/mystery.
Pretty engrossing story about marraige and murder...; it kept my interest, and was a farily quick/light entertaining book.
Rosie's husband Richie is murdered, and the police think she did it. She escapes to try to find the real killer, and learns a lot about her husband and herself.
Richie + Rosie - killed after 25 yrs, marriage + divorce - good
