What I liked:
I liked the humor of the main two, although found her killing of one man to open the story a little too lax. The humor is abundant, the dialogue works well, and there's always something going on to keep it interesting. It was hard to put down and kept me reading. I like the small town getting fixed - a woman wanting to open a bookstore and cafe, such fun with that. I loved the medical scene and the doctor.
What I didn't like:
The sex stuff. Too rushed and I didn't feel a connection between the main and the two men she's into. It seemed too quick. I also don't like the voyeur stuff and it started getting overdone. I ended up skimming most of that after all.
Overall - when the plot is going on, it's great, but the overdone "steam" that shouldn't exist yet and felt forced and cheesy was another story.
And I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe she's a little over 100 years old and only had one serious boyfriend, while she started investing in stocks when she was a teenager and came from a town with a large population considering its size. That's unrealistic as hell and why have that in there when it doesn't make sense and shouldn't change anything about her past?
