Editorial Reviews:

"Andrews—like her heroine—mixes up a tasty cocktail out of appealing ingredients….The complex plot is intelligently managed and full of surprises….Characters, too, are multilayered. Keeps readers guessing—with humor and romance balancing the whodunit."
-Kirkus Reviews

The mystery's plot is enhanced by the author's skillful use of imagery and a parade of complex and eccentric characters. I found it impressive that Andrews was able to simultaneously weave a plot that kept me guessing while conjuring visual images that made me laugh. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. "
