Secrets in Pink by K.B. Jackson
4.0
funny lighthearted mysterious medium-paced

Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

To be honest, I chose this book on Netgalley because I loved the cover. I am not usually a cosy mystery reader but the summary sounded good. I started reading the book almost as soon as I downloaded it. This is my first KB Jackson book and I was about 1/3 of through when I realized that there was a book prior to this one (Secrets Don't Sink). Having not read the first story didn't hinder this one but I feel I would have a better connection and understanding of the main character (who I did like a lot though) and some references would've made more sense. 
This was a well-done plot that had a good pace and no "flat" spots. I interest was kept all the way through. I could see the scenes in my imagination very well. There was some good humour throughout. The bonus was I did not guess the ending or "who did it"! 
An all 'round great read that I would recommend to anyone looking for an easy, and sometimes light-hearted, mystery read.

Thanks to Netgalley and Level Best Books for the opportunity to discover a new author. I will be watching for #3 of this series.
