Most disappointing reveal of who the killer was. At that point I was so checked out.

A random man that was maybe mentioned once or twice in the beginning, never to be heard of again until the reveal? Lame.

It’s also dumb how Sherry is still best friends with the woman who married her ex-husband that physically abused her. 

This book was disappointing & most of the characters were annoying. The only ones I enjoyed were Cora, her dog, & Daphne.

Interesting murder mystery about stalking. Love the characters as always and excited to read the next book!

This was ok - kind of a like the Janet Evanovitch mysteries, but not as funny. This book contained either the best Freudian slip ever or my all time favorite editing error: "Cora let out an ejaculation indicating Flo was a person of low IQ involved in romantic coupling illegal in several states." That was worth reading this book for.

Cora's at it again. She needs money so she's agreed to do a cereal ad campaign, moving from city to city, trying to find some children to star in the commercial with her. Still struggling with her fame, still wanting to NOT be the Puzzle Lady but getting pulled in anyway. This time, she's got an uber-fan, someone's who's willing to kill to get her to notice him.
Some movement with her niece, Shelly, and her boyfriend, Aaron, which was nice to see. All of the rest of the cast was there as well (Becky, Shelly's ex-husband, and his new wife) as well as some new people (a guy who's been in love with her since they were kids and he's bugged her then AND now).
