Review by: RJ Parker on Oct. 26, 2011 :
This is a "whodunit" murder mystery. The characters are likeable and the plot/story is pretty good. I liked it. Jessica, and English teacher who works in Chicago, is home visiting her mom when her Aunt is murdered. As she is a suspect (which is only because she inherits her aunts fortune), she sets out to find the killer. On my sony, it is 191 pages and it's free so all's good. However, I don't think the author uses spell or grammar check because there's tons of errors and a bit frustrating having to re-read paragraphs. All in all, a good story, I recommend it to anyone who likes a mystery but would hope the errors are corrected at some point.

I'm on page 21, and there have been something like 15 typos or grammatical errors so far. I hate that. I'd stop reading, but the story is good, so I'm keeping at it. Annoying, though. I guess ebooks don't have the same standards as other publishers....
