Eh. A well-written (but poorly edited) between-the-numbers mystery. This one was a bit longer than the typical in-between novella, which allowed the author to actually give the reader a complete mystery from setup to denouement. I'd have rated it higher, but I'm not all that fond of Chaz and I'd...

If it wasn’t for that pesky murder the celebration would have been prefect.Again Liv has her hands full pulling things together for this hu...
