Comments:

I've meant to read this book for AGES.  I just never felt like it was the right time.  Until I saw a copy available at DG.  Then once I bought it I couldn't get it out of my head.  I knew it was going to be my next Cozy Cull.  So here we are.

I enjoyed it from the Alcatraz themed party (that made me miss the Alcatraz television series) to the characters.  I really appreciated Presley's relationship with her mother.  Her mother has Alzheimer's and is at a home, but Presley makes sure to visit regularly and treats her well.  I did find parts a little obvious... like something about Presley's new neighbor.  And I thought Presley definitely should have at least considered the killer as a suspect.  I did.

The series is already 5 long so I've got a little catching up to do, but not too much.  The next book is How to Crash a Killer Bash.
