Helpful Score: 6

I read cozies and especially funny cozies by the hundreds. That's good because I like them, but it can be a problem. Sometimes I just get fed up to here with the brainless things the heroines do to advance the story. That said, I liked this one a lot. Sure, there's brainless stuff Reagan, the slightly ditzy main character, does. In fact, there are quite a few times when she confronts potential killers without thought, without backup, and without a plan. It's just her style. In many books, this bothers me no end. In this one, it just seems natural. It takes a skilled author to pull that off.

The story is lively, quick-moving, amusing, and involves quirky characters that are fun to know. You're going to get an entirely new viewpoint on Savannah, Georgia, society goings-on. All it takes is a willing suspension of disbelief for some mildly unlikely things, and you've got a great reading experience ahead of you.
