I enjoyed this book. I advise you to read the books in this series in order. This is a food interesting mystery book. It was a little annoying to see the thought italics so often. I loved the twists and turns in this book. I loved the action. I liked how Jack and Sarah worked so well together. I felt this was well written. I liked there was a short biography of Jack and Sarah. I did feel this was a little rushed. This did keep me guessing as I read this just as a good mystery should. I liked the characters and the twists and turns and I recommend this.

The Cherringham series of murder mysteries are lively, fun reads which don't take themselves too seriously
