Gretchen hits the jackpot with another great mystery!

Another exciting mystery laced with humour in Gretchen's own unique style. Her eye for detail continues to impress and helped me to lose myself in the story. In Amber Benson she has the perfect narrator she let lose some of her lovely southern accent to bring the cast of characters to life. Her background as an actor means she is able to use her training to give each character their own voice. Something that in my experience not many narrators are able to do. With Amber you always which character is speaking and in a busy scene that really helps. There are elements of the locked room mystery here which for vast majority of book work well as the plot very well thought out. However for a couple of chapters I did feel the pace slow down and drag a little but it soon picked up again. I also didn't understand how a lack of dish soap lead to extreme measures but those two small niggles aside It was very enjoyable and I recommend this book and the series to anyone who loves a good mystery. I hope there will be another Davis Way mystery with the Gretchen/Benson partnership too.
