I received this book for free from Berkley Prime Crime in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I loved the mystery in this. And how Cami went about trying to piece it together. I'm not sure exactly why, but I kept picturing Velma from Scooby Doo, during some of the sleuthing bits.
I liked how Cami and Pinky interacted. You could tell they'd been friends a while, and it was fun getting to know them and the other characters. There is a little bit of romance, but it isn't a major thread. Friendships new and old are more central than the romance. I also liked how involved the police were. As well as the way the small town feel was written. It really felt like it was a real place that would be fun to visit.
I didn't know who had murdered Molly until a bit past the half-way point in the book. And it wasn't anything obvious, just a feeling. There were a few different people it could have been, so I'm not sure why I picked this particular one so early on.
The book has no slow spots. It isn't so fast-paced that you lose track of what was going on either. It hit the perfect middle ground of wanting to know what was going to happen next. There were also a few minor mystery plot threads woven around the main one. Which is always fun, and helps give added dimensions.
If you're looking for a new mystery series to get in on, you should give this one a try.
How To Make A Snow Globe instructions included.
