Summary: this is a how-dunnit, not a who-dunnit
Review: I am so glad my friend reccommended this very entertaining mystery. I enjoyed not only the clever mystery, but also the very good humor. This is one of those easy, light reads, but well worth my time.
It reminded me some of the movie, "National Lampoon's Vacation" or something like that, but it was not the same. The plot just seems to get thicker and thicker, and funnier and funnier. If you like light humorous mysteries, I think you will like this one.

Summary: Really funny, and a good little mystery to boot!
Review: I just got through reading this book and I was very pleased. If you like a good mystery with a dash of humor, this book is for you. It's a little hard to describe the writting style, because it is very unusual. There is a lot of slapstick humor, but some very subtle humor, and some very touching moments too. I particularly liked the variou offbeat characters. Aunt Flossie, the main character is crazy as a bedbug.
Basically the story goes like this: a family from Alabama drives down to Miami to retrieve a family member, Aunt Flossie, from a beachside mansion owned by an evil millionaire. The first part of the story tells about the hilarious adventures they encounter on the trip, and the second half gets the reader involved in the murder part. And I really liked the surprise ending. You will too, I think.
Even though I really enjoyed the story and laughed out loud a few time, and I highly reccomend the book, I can't in good faith give it five stars. Sometimes I got confused because of the aurthor's devilish way of using fast-forward, and flashback. Also there was a bit of foul language, but really as I think about it, not as bad as you hear on television. All and all, I liked it and recommend it.

Summary: I really laughed a lot, and it was a nice mystery to boot
Review: My friend at work loaned me book to read while I was on vacation. I just couldn't put it down. Being from Alabama, and being a fan of Anne George, it seemed so comfortable and like other books I have enjoyed. To be honest, I laughed out loud for much of the first half of the book. The second half of the book becomes more serious however, and we, as readers become more absorbed into the mystery. I really liked it, and I will probably read it again. I especially liked the way the story was so easy to understand, the characters were weird but beleivable, and it was just a fun read. I reccommend this book to anyone who enjoys a murder mystery with a healthy dash of humor.
