Isn't the cover yummy looking? I'll admit that it was the cover that drew me to this book. Yep, I'm a foodie and I pick the books I read by the cover, especially if there is food on the cover HAHAHA
Anywaaaaay, I picked this up before Christmas when I signed up for Book Chick City's mystery challenge. Yes, it's a mystery not a romance. And it was pretty good. Tally Jones is accused of killing her ex-husband's new girlfriend. So we follow Tally as she uncovers who murdered preppy Brittanie. We meet lots of people and find out little secrets about all of them. I think the secret that hurt the most is when she found out her high school sweetheart, who just moved back to town, had slept with Brittanie as well. It's probably irrational of me to think that hurt the most, but here's my reasoning....Tally already lost her husband to Brittanie and now she finds out Finn slept with her too? In fact, when Tally finds out this tidbit of info, she runs away from Finn. And I know exactly what she was feeling....why can't she have a man in her life that hadn't slept with slutty Brittanie? And the kicker is that Brittanie is like 24 while Finn and Tally are in their late 30's and the ex is a few years older than that! Yep, that broke my heart for Tally.
So, the killer is not who I expected it to be and I was a little disappointed by how we found out. Maybe I'm just not used to reading mystery novels. But all in all, I enjoyed the book and would read another one by this author. Oh! And there's a recipe for ice cream in the back! YUM!
