Awhile back I reviewed Whole Lotta Trouble by Stephanie Bond. I liked it, but it had room for improvement. I have to say, Stephanie is getting better.
This review is for Party Crashers (Body Movers 0.5).
Can you call a murder mystery cute and cuddly? Seems like an oxymoron, but I think you can. I just did. ;)
If you like light murder mysteries, you'll love Party Crashers. Jolie is a character I think most of us can relate to. She's well developed, down to earth, and not annoying like so many humorous chick lit heroines can be. She's trying to solve the mystery of her casual boyfriend's disappearance and finds herself in a situation that is way over her head, and in the meantime she meets a hunky and wealthy hero that she's not quite sure she can trust.
It's formulaic, but it's a good formula. One that will work time and again. A very enjoyable, light read.
Do you like humorous, romantic mysteries? What are your favorites?
