I love this series so much and it just gets better and better. This one deals with politicians (I know I know it's a tough time for that), but focuses on the awesome things being done for the community.  I also really appreciated how this book focused on the friendship between Lila, Adeena, and Elena.  It makes them all examine how they treat each other and sometimes put their own feelings / priorities above the needs of the person they are trying to help.  This is so unique to a cozy mystery and I loved the internal work they are tying to do and how they are learning to communicate these things even when it's hard. Also I am hoping Lila and Elena's relationship will grow stronger and not be in a subconscious competition over who knows Adeena better.
The mystery was fabulous and I love how each of the trio approached the investigation and the dramatics it revealed. The ending was heart-pounding and fabulous as usual and OF COURSE this book made me soooo hungry. I love love love the entrepreneurial spirit always embodied in these books.

Note: I listened to this audiobook (as I have the entire series) and it was fabulous as usual!

Thanks to the publisher for a free copy and a free audiobook copy; my review and my thoughts are my own.
