My copy of this book has the subtitle "A Funny and Gripping Murder Mystery". Since I guessed the culprit at the 20% mark, it was neither a mystery nor particularly gripping. And since I didn't laugh once, that makes it 0 for 3. Avoid.

A fun, easy read. Quite funny with a likeable main character. Decent mystery that leaves you guessing right to the end.

Izzy Palmer is a great character! The author did a great job of describing her awkwardness and brains. Fun read!

Not my cup of tea

I hate to say it but I really found the majority of this book boring. It took me to at least page 170 or better to start getting interested. I didn’t want to give up on it and DNF it though so I pushed through. In the back of my mind I knew who the killer was from the start. This one just didn’t capture my attention or excite me.
