What a funny and heartwarming read. I know it may seem funny to say that about a book that starts with a murder, but it's true! Vera is a dynamo that no one can say no to; I love her pluck, gumption, and fierce belief in herself. She assembled a cast of characters around her that become a family. This is a joyful world to be a part of, and I can't wait for the next one! You won't be able to put this book down; it will make you laugh and tug on your heart. Read it!
