This is another one of those cozy mysteries that I think can't surprise me. I actually looked at this one over and over because I thought I had actually already read this one. The cover is so cute, but it's the same as a lot of these kinds of mysteries, so I just wasn't expecting to be surprised. I was. I liked the twist that makes her just a little bit different from other books like this. I liked the fact that not only could I not figure out who the killer was, but I was having a hard time even figuring out who were nice people and who weren't. Addison did a really good job of making me doubt almost everyone at some point in the novel. There was a large cast of characters that almost felt too big at first, but I eventually got everyone sorted out. I also like that there was a very well done almost love triangle. I say almost because nothing really happened with either men, but Alex was invited on a date by both men. That's all I'll say about that. I am really looking forward to the next book to see a continuation of Alex's character as she grows and learns more about herself and her mother's family. Such a great opening to a series.
