5 stars
This works as a mystery, and it is also an excellent comedy. If you read it, you are going to chuckle. I absolutely loved the character’s to do lists!
I did not think much of this book.
Who has a baby and in a week or two goes running around like chicken with its head cut off looking for murders. Unbelievable and stupid. C woods
