Lauren Andrew is a new-to-me author, but I'm always on the lookout for sweet/clean romance without all the spice. Andrew is one of those authors.

There's just something about Rosenfelt's style that clicks with me, though part of that could also be the audiobook narrator. Whatever it is, he once again pulled me in with his wit and twists.

After reading several Andy Carpenter mysteries, I thought I'd pick up the first one and see where/how it started. This story didn't disappoint. It was also fun to see how Andy came to inherit his millions.
