This date stunk.
I was going to muscle through it for my Reading Challenge but there are better fish to fry.
Zero character development, loose stereotypes, just plain flat. It's like they made one character handicapped because "they needed something interesting happening". Yuck.
I recommend it for people that don't want to think and don't mind details.

I loved this addition to the series. It was a good mystery, it fleshed out some secondary characters, and Emma made a good choice for once..yes!

this is one of my favorites in the series so far, purely in terms of the mystery. I had a sense of what was going on but couldn't quite pin down the fine details of the deception.
briefly, Emma's haircut is delayed when someone is killed in the salon. Vida takes over the story, so Emma's thoughts throughout the narrative are mostly about her personal life. I learned that Vida is not an animal person, and she was just kind of generally written with less warmth/humor in this book. She's usually one of my favorites. Emma still has no spine. I like the little progressions with background characters (Ginny's marriage, Adam's glacial progress toward a job and maturity). We're introduced to a new character, Paula, whom I hope will continue to appear in future books.
I like series where you can become familiar with the characters and they change over time, so that's something I especially enjoy about this series. I think I will get all the way through the alphabet.
