| Author: B. Jackson - See all my.. | I loved all the personalities of all the characters in this book. Especially of the dead eccentric rich uncle who left stange articles of inheritance to family members. Andi McConnell at age 60, my age, really made me able to relate to her feelings in the story. The book has great comedy which made me laugh out loud at times, a good who done it story line which kept me guessing till the end. The nosey next door neighbor was an added delight. And what can I say about the limosine with the bulletproof windows and unique inside decore? It added a very fun part to the story. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series which I hope comes out soon. I also loved this author's Ivy Malone Mystery Series which I recommend to all to read. | 11 | |
