Another great Cece Caruso mystery... well, almost. This trade paperback size (the previous books have all been mass market paperback) cost me double what the previous books did- and this was shorter and not quite as good as the rest. The mystery seemed kind of ramshackle, and instead of Cece having fun adventures on her own and encounters with her interesting friends, we mainly spend time with her disgusting ex-husband and her needy fiance. I'm still a fan, but I found this to be the weakest of the series. If they keep up the $14 price tag for the next one, I'll get it from the library or used instead.
