This was a cute murder mystery that I found out about due to the Hallmark Series of the same name. While I enjoyed the book, I found it to be a bit wordy.

It's hard not to enjoy Charlaine Harris' writing. It's light, fluffy, and simple enough to read quickly for something lighthearted. For a book about gruesome murders, that's what this book was - lighthearted and funny at times. It wasn't amazing, but it also wasn't awful. It was a fun read and a solid three but I don't think I'll be reading any more of the series.
My comments on the mental illness aspect of the book are in the spoiler.

The portrayal of mental illness in this isn't fantastic, but it's certainly not terrible. I was happy she didn't make the mentally ill character the murderer and instead chose to show him getting help.madsmcw_reads's review against another edition
