I've read all of the books in this series and enjoyed them all, but this one was one of my favorites. It's got some good funny lines and kind of wild situations which are fun, but for the most part it is a straightforward mystery- introduce all of your potential suspects, kill of the victim, and have the sleuth investigate until she is trapped by the killer. Lots of little red herrings and surprises along the way and not easy to figure out the killer either !
