This is an enjoyable murder mystery novel. All of the characters were fun to read about - the main character Abigail, the ex-cop Frank, the strange elderly Myrtle, etc. The book takes place in a small town and I could relate to everybody knowing each other, people knowing everybody's business right away, and how much of an inconvenience those things could be - and in this case, a murderer in the small town who finds things out quickly.
