The good: it's an easy quick read. Kind of brain fluff, which sometimes is just what a person needs.
Interesting mystery. Kept me guessing b/c the "culprit" was barely mentioned in passing, and there were so many red herrings pointing toward other (too obvious) characters.

The bad: This series is already starting to remind me of the Goldy Schultz recipe/mysteries. First of all, the main characters must assume the police are morons b/c they do all this sleuthing and keep tons of evidence from the police. They go off in the middle of the night to the middle of nowhere following cars, getting locked in barns etc. And yes the protagonist SAYS she knows the police will solve the crime and that she has great confidence of Officer Doogie (seriously?).

Also like Goldy or Murder She Wrote, I'd stay 100 miles from the "Cackleberry Club" b/c people are dropping like flies when they are anywhere near the place. It has to be one of the most unsafe "small towns" in the history of unsafe small towns. I have the 3rd book in the series. Pretty sure it will be my last.
