My Review:
I’m late to the party as this is book number three for Delaney, the designer heels shoe obsessed tow truck driver, but it was my introduction to the series and its crafty creator Karen C. Whalen. I enjoyed her writing style, it was breezy, easy to follow, and laced together with humorous yet insightful observations and inner musings. There was more than one mystery to solve and I wasn’t anywhere close in my personal attempts at sleuthing, looks like I’ll have to stick to reading about such adventures, wearing flats, and driving my Prius.
