I enjoyed reading this book even though it had many flaws. It wasn't much of a mystery even though it was billed as such. The main characters lives, sisters Ginger and Evie were not developed enough to know them very well, nor the dying, alcoholic mother they were tending to. Mina's story was better developed as the 91 year old, spunky neighbor with a scheming, devious nephew, trying all sorts of nasty things to get her to move to an nursing home.
The ending seemed to be rushed and sort of fell flat. It was an okay fast read.
