Advance Praise
"Donna Huston Murray's voice is as familiar as a long-time girlfriend's yet provocative and wise as a favorite aunt's...intelligent and timely. I consider
each book a necessary addition to my mystery collection."
- Earlene Fowler, Agatha winning author
“Barnes’ irreverent attitude about her situation makes for a great character – almost as if Spenser was a housewife.”
-THE DROOD REVIEW OF MYSTERY
"The ending of the book was much different from anything I've read (which was a nice change of pace)".
-Carol B.

Susan F, Reviewer
I remembered reading this book back in paperback book days, and remembered it fondly, but without many details. So, I was happy to receive an ARC of the new e-book edition from the publisher and NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review.
As I started (re-)reading the book, I remembered why I had enjoyed it the last time – the main character, Ginger (Gin) Barnes, gets stuck with a lot of odd jane-of-all-trade jobs that she hates as much as I do, but still manages to keep a sense of humor throughout. And all while figuring out who the murderer was! I enjoyed the plot, and I liked the characters, so all-in-all, I was happy to have a chance to read this again.
And, this is the first in the series, so if you like reading in order, you’re in luck!
Please keep in mind that for me, 4 stars out of 5 is a really good ranking. I reserve 5 stars for a very few absolute favorite books, ones I am going to read and reread time-and-again, probably no more than one in twenty or thirty books. So 4 stars is my normal top limit, and means I very much do recommend the book.
