My review:

A great read. I really enjoyed this book. This is one of those mystery/suspense novels that aren't too scary/nail biting, but more of a "cozy" suspense novel. I love Warren's characters in this book, and the two that it follows. The book has humor, mystery, suspense, and even romance. By calling it a "cozy" suspense novel, I in no way am trying to say it isn't suspenseful - for it is, it is just a tamer sort of suspense novel.

I highly recommend this series to lovers of suspense novels, and also to readers who usually don't get into that type of book - you folks would enjoy this series, I promise.
