A pure delight to read. This short story is only 28 pages long and astounding well-written. Within these few pages you get a good description of the main character and her new friend who barge into sharing her room in Las Vegas hotel. You really feel like you know them. The three make a new club and solve a murder at a Mystery Convention without doing anything drastic. A pure fun fantastic read!.

Fun short story about a woman who somehow gets involved in solving mysteries wherever she goes, so she started writing mystery books. She goes to a convention in Vegas and is assigned roommates and then they find themselves in another case to solve.

I know it was short, but it was too predictable even for a novella.

A very short murder mystery with wonderful quirky characters.

It was a short story - very short. It spent a fair portion introducing the characters and only a little time investigating.

I'm not sure exactly what is going on here. For someone who actively avoids short stories, I seem to be knocking out quite a few here lately and really enjoying them. (Even more surprising.) I haven't read any other of Ms. Hickey's books (a flaw I will be correcting as soon as possible) but apparently, the three detectives in this story are all from other series Ms. Hickey writes. Even not being familiar with the characters I was able to follow along and not feel lost. The mystery is fairly simple, the detectives go about finding the "bad guy" with a few humorous moments thrown in. All in all a very easy and delightful read. Just the break I needed from my normal "heavy" mysteries. I definitely recommend this book.

Not what I Hoped It Would Be
I was hoping for a mystery short story. Finding this one by Cynthia Hickey was a pleasant surprise to me. I have read other Christian Fiction Mystery novels by this author, and I have others on my wishlist. I felt this short story lacked much of the suspense and character depth that I enjoyed in the author's other works.

This book had a cute plot but was way too rushed & underdeveloped, even for a short story. I did like the writing style & only noticed one typo, though. I am interested in reading an actual book from this author.
