To be honest, this book sat on my shelf since 2007. I was slightly put off by the cover and even wondered why I had bought this book. In a fit of "I have to read something light and funny", I picked it up.

I found it quite funny. A woman and her husband, an academic, move to the Northwest, where she DEFINITELY does not fit in. I laughed out loud at several parts. The way that Maye dressed up her dog....(you'll have to read to understand).

The solving of the mystery at the end was not as compelling as I had hoped, but it was overall a good book and a pleasant diversion.
