Summary: A Great Read
Review: This was a delightful book. It was the first of Ms. Martin's that I have read. I will certainly go back and read her first "Blackbird" mystery and have already purchased the third one. I was hooked from the beginning and enjoyed every page. Get this one and you will not be sorry.

Summary: An OK read
Review: This was my first Nancy Martin novel and, no offence, but I probably won't be buying any more. There was never enough tension here to really draw me in. The characters were mostly nice little cardboard cut-outs and as for the murder, who cares. I never felt connected to any of the characters enough to care what happened. Nothing to grab me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dead Girls Don't Wear Diamonds
Review: When Nora Blackbird is informed that the wife of her college sweetheart committed suicide by drowning herslef in the family pool she feels an overwhelming sense of de ja vu. She knows that Laura did not commit suicide and that somehow she is going to be forced to investigate this murder on her own once again. Laura who Nora had just spent time with the night before her death was having trouble in her marriage and was trying to recreate herslef by trying to look exactally like her husbands first love, Nora Blackbird. Being that she and Laura openly argued at a party the night before Nora knows that her name will soon appear on the suspect list and she therefore must try to solve this before she becomes the no. 1 suspect! To complicate matters Laura was known around town as the local jewel thief and had countless enemies all of whom are suspects in Nora's eyes.

Nancy Martin once again charms us with a lighthearted and fun look into the lives of the hilarious Blackbird sisters and produces a mystery that never takes itself too seriously and is very entertaining. I thouroughly enjoy this series and hope that we see much more of the Blackbird sisters in the future!
