I have enjoyed this series so far. I get a little tired of Lee's tongue tied routine. I'm definitely going to keep reading this series.

I loved the way this book filled in some of the dark mysteries of Lee’s family and town. Learning more about Lee’s mother and why she left Warner Pier was really enlightening to Sally’s personality and treatment of Lee. The description of differences as small-town conservativism met the new-age liberalism of the 60s was complex and well done. The mystery was a little predictable, but still an enjoyable ride.

Eh. This was okay. It was fairly painfully obvious pretty early on what happened and who was the main culprit behind it. Lee's tongue-tied thing is still super annoying, especially here since she does it a LOT. Is that a real thing? I mean, I know it happens to everyone from time to time, but is it really a condition?
Eh. I've definitely read better.

Like the earlier books, this one is markedly different from its siblings. It boasts the strongest start in the writing. Sadly the motives of the villains in the end were not logical. It wasn't possible that the intrigue would play out like it did. Stranger things have happened in real life. But here I believe what Joanna Carl (only now have I realized it's a pseudonym) has concocted is stranger than truth. The murders in this book had weird and nonsensical motives. I simply cannot wrap my head round it. The Sally character is the catalyst in this story, and even her importance makes no sense. I did enjoy the sad, turbulent past of Sally and the tragedy of Bill. Joanna Carl has kept adding newer characters to the series without blinking. I hope she manages to pull of this trick in her next books. Given what this book was, it made for an enjoyable read. I recommend it to both fans of the genre and the uninitiated.

Another great chocoholic mystery! Kept my interested and guessing who did it till the very end. Loved the wedding gift from Aunt Nettie! I'm excited for the next book!
