Customer Reviews
Fun but flighty
It was an easy read but Cate got irritating after a while. The storyline was pretty good actually but I wanted to shake Cate. Maybe that’s a sign it’s a good book LOL
Liked it!
This was a good mystery with interesting quirky characters!
Cate had her hands full dealing with some interesting situations while sorting out her personal life at the same time.
I enjoyed the humour in the story very much.
