I really enjoy the Jaine Austen Mystery series, so I probably shouldn't be considered an unbaised reviewer. I find Laura Levine's first person narrative engaging and laugh out loud funny at times. Who can resist at least a smile when you have a cat named Prozac in the story? (Even funnier is Jaine's mom who can never seem to remember her grandcat's name and has called her Valium and Xanax in other books within this series). I have found the mystery better than most of the others books in the previous series, so that was a pleasant surprise. However, even for me (!) this story was a bit too food oriented. I hope her romance with the deli guy she met while at the spa will continue in future installments. Very cute story... This will be the last time Jaine will save Lance's life... He thanks her by giving her a gift certificate to a "Spa", which turns out to be a fat farm. Then adding insult to injury the cast of characters at this place wouldn't last even one season if it were a situation comedy. I'll fill in the rest of my review in a day or so. FTC Full disclosure: I received this book from the publisher in return for a fair and impartial review.
I really enjoy the books in this series - they are a light and fun read with mystery and humor.

Loved it - emails from her parents are always a hysterical deviation from the story's progress.

A fun, easy read. And funny! How can you not win with a cat named Prozac?
