I. Love. This. Book. I went on a 20-minute, out-loud rant when one character did something I would have strangled her for. That's when I knew this book had me. I love this book. I love it. If you start it, and you get comfy with the present-day crime story feel of it, don't get too comfortable, but PLEASE take my word for it, the abrupt shift from that to something else works so completely and masterfully it will make you giggle. I love this book. Give me the sequal NOW, or the puppy gets it.
