This was a new author for me and I enjoyed the protagonist, Nora Blackbird. She is from "old money" (her parents) but now broke since her parents took off to places unknown with what is left of the family fortune (conveniently in off-shore accounts). She has a 2 million dollar tax debt and has to get a job for the first time in her life. She and her two sisters, Emma and Libby, work together to find a friend's killer. They discover stuff about her parents' friends they wished they'd never known. I think I am going to enjoy this series.

I almost put this down because it started out a bit slow for me. Thankfully, I kept reading and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed it and plan on reading the whole series.

I thought I would give the series a try. Some of the reviews I read compared the series favorably to Janet Evanovich. In reality the series is readable, but not very funny with very little depth in the characters. A decent series to pass the time, but not if you are looking for something with meat in it. These books are okay bedtime reading in that they will not cause you to have bad dreams--or good ones either.

I expected a light fun read from this one and it was not that good at all. I had to quit while I was ahead.

Former socialite Nora Blackbird found she had to get a job to stay ahead of the tax collectors. She finds a job is as a society page columnist. On her first party assignment, Nora stumbles over the murdered body of a millionaire art collector who was an old family friend. When the police ask for her help in questioning the party goers, Nora decides she is going to solve the murder with the help of her sisters Libby and Emma.

This is a good start to the Blackbird Sisters cozy mystery series. Nora is a smart heroine who is trying to get out from under the debt her parents left her in. She also has a hot guy named Mike Abruzzo trying to get to know her better. The story is well plotted and I never guessed who the villain was. My rating: 4 Stars.
