I enjoyed the storyline, and felt the suspense wanting to find out who was the murderer. This book was well written. I actually picked up this book because I know someone named Cynthia Smith (author's name), not because I had heard anything good about it or thought I would like it.

I did not like the main character's moral code. She says she is monogamous, but then she loves one guy and is "unmonogamous" with two others. In one chapter she says she thinks hunting is horrible, but in the next she thinks abortion is okay. So, it is okay to kill human babies, but not animals?

2015 reading challenge: a book at the bottom of your to-read list

Now I know why it's at the bottom of my reading list.

If she's not giving me history classes, she's giving me recipes. Plus she's vain. She loves talking about herself and how there's apparently a lot of things she can do.
Also, the plot wasn't as good as people make it out to be.

This is the third book in the Casebook of Emma Rhodes series. This time Emma decides to help a woman keep her husband. Along the way another woman gets murdered and Emma decides to help another family. Emma is a private resolver who helps people mostly wealthy with their problems. The book was a quick easy read.
