Comic and over-the-top story of lots of characters doing silly things, including kinda sorta solving a murder. Told in the first person by a self-righteous boarding house owner who is desperately avoiding falling in love.

The book was an interesting, small town story. I didn't particularly like the lead character very well. That is to say, I likely would not have been friends with her, but her personality came through nicely. I thought she was a little suspicious and full of trepidation about trying new things, but the way Raleigh wrote the character was very deft and skillful. Mary Beth seemed real, and the characters that populated the Rapturous Rest were also interesting. All in all, a good read with some genuinely funny moments.
