This was okay. It was a quick, light read and a good way to pass the afternoon. I liked the main character Maggie well enough, but I disliked a few of the secondary characters with enough intensity to almost overshadow that. And I was irritated that Maggie didn't even solve the mystery. She just kind of blundered around until the villain got overconfident (because of something the cops did, not Maggie!) and wound up getting accidentally incapacitated until someone else entirely figured out Maggie was in trouble and called the cops.

Not the best book I've ever read, but not the worst either.
