Helpful Score: 5
I thought this was a fun book with an appealing group of friends--the Bunco Babes--who play amateur sleuths, have fun together and also look out for each other. The crime was more grisly than I expected and there were several very good suspects which helped add to the suspense of the story. I was very surprised how much I enjoyed this one!

I will not tell a lie. I have passed up this book a couple of times and thought "anh, maybe later." Well, later finally came and I really enjoyed this first book of a series. I have even gotten the other two.
I love the characters and the storyline is good. I hope that I have a place to live like this when I retire. I usually do not go for books with more than 3 or 4 characters, I tend to not be able to keep them straight, but each character is so unique, that you "bond" with each one. This book is not overly detailed but just enough that I can picture exactly how Serenity Cove Estates looks.

I believe I have read this book before --- or got half way through it, picked it up, put it back on the bookshelf and read it again! And, I throughly enjoyed the whole kit and kaboodle. I can remember playing Bunco with my Grandmother way back in the 1950s but cant remember how to play it at all --- sounds like a fun game for a group of people --- and this group of Bunco Players has an absolute ball doing it! The characters are all a perfect group of ladies with varying ideas, thoughts, families, life styles and just make the whole book fall into a GREAT read! You dont have to even know Bunco to really enjoy this book anyone liking a cosy mystery should love this book!
