I snatched this up when it was a Kindle freebie awhile back and just now got around to reading it. And I thoroughly enjoyed it enough to purchase another one while it was a low price (waiting for the others to drop a little as well). It opens with a man from Mira's past, Jason who climbs into bed thinking she's someone else. At first I was a little irritated with her because as other reviewers have said she's a bit spineless when it comes to this jerk but I forgave that when the story got rolling a little more. Mira has a wonderful sense of humor and wit and I laughed out loud while reading some of her commentary on her fellow neighbors. Lourey has a good way of dropping enough red herrings in the story so you're not 100% sure who is the bad guy, especially with a diamond necklace being thrown in because money always brings out the worst even in the best of people. I also like how there was just enough of Mira's background to be given to give a little insight on the person she was but not enough to drag the story down overall and it opened it up for more to be released in the later books. Come into reading this book with an open mind because I found it to not be like other mystery series and that Mira is special on her own so don't try comparing her of Lourey's sense of writing to other's in the craft and genre and I think you'll enjoy it as well.
