I really like Regan Reilly. She is cute and quirky and someone I'd like to be friends with. Even though this is a "series" book, it stands alone as well (this was one of the first I read, actually, before realizing it was a series). This is an action-packed novel that I finished in one sitting. The other characters in the book are also very likeable and the story is well put-together.

All of her Regan Reilly storys are great
Very cute book - she's not as good as her mother - but a light mystery - enjoyable.
Typical Clark with multiple disparate events tied together at the end.
A light, comic suspense novel.
I love how Clark can have so many different characters in her story's.

fun lighthearted PI mystery book
Very good cozy
Regan Reilly and her boy friend Jack "not related" Reilly visit the California wine country until he has to return to his work as the head of the NYPD Major Cases Squad. Private sleuth Regan goes back to her office in Los Angeles. Almost the moment she arrives at work, Regan receives a call from the Weldon siblings, who she met when she and Jack toured their winery. Apparently their ninety-six going on ninety-three years old stepmother, former silent screen star Lucretia Standish, is getting married once again. If the Weldon trio plus the daughter of one of them all attend the ceremony, Lucretia will give them two million dollars each; if even one fails to show up they receive zero. The Weldons hire Regan to find the daughter off on one of her vanishing act weekends.
Regan begins investigating and receives help from Jack via email. However, the forty something groom has other plans for his fiancee's money, which include leaving the Weldons with nothing. If it means killing a detective to insure a Weldon fails to appear so be it.
JINXED is an action-packed thriller that moves at the speed of light, which leads to a fun time for the audience if one does not mind escapist cerebral cotton candy. The story line is fluff yet the audience will enjoy every page of it and most will finish in one sitting. Regan is a wonderful protagonist while readers will find the antics of the support cast quite pleasant and amusing. Carol Higgins Clark does what she does best entertain her fans.
