Great cozy, again, from Elaine Viets. Some very important issues are presented about being a single parent, and there were times I actually laughed out loud as well; great sense of humor in her stories. Also, at the end of the book, she gives great shopping tips and some helpful websites as well. I highly recommend this series to all cozy mysteries lovers especially those of you who enjoy reading books without nasty curse words and raunchy sex scenes.
This entire series is simply great! I absolutely love the realistic situations that make up a person's everyday life that the author can weave into a story. Thank you Elaine Viets for writing believable books.
Egads I skipped this one, whew now I have a few missing pieces. Next to #8!
