I love the snark of Jaine Austen. Okay, her cat is a bit over the top, but other than that, love it.

Jaine is hired to be the ghost writer for a wealthy heiress, Daisy Kincaid. One morning a man shows up at the house who claims to be the nephew of Daisy's former companion who died on a hike in Europe. The man - Tommy - soon smooches his way into Daisy's good graces, along the way alienating her employees and friends. It's no surprise he ends up dead. Everyone seemed to have hated him.

If it weren't for the fact that Jaine's friend Kate is the main suspect, Jaine wouldn't even have made the effort to find the killer.

Except perhaps to congratulate them on a job well done.

It's a short, quick paced book with a lot going on: the murder investigation, antics from Jaine's parents (told through emails) and Jaine's being wooed by her ex. All told in a delightful snarky voice. Yummie.

I read an ARC through Netgalley.
