Ronnie Lake decides that she is suspicious of her possible future sister-in-law, Julianna, and decides to investigate her. I admit to taking a instant dislike to Ronnie and thought that her interference was officious.
Two stars because I did finish. ( )

Ronnie Lake is a middle aged woman who appears to be very protective of her brother and sees his new girlfriend Julianna as being a bit too perfect. She becomes suspicious of her after her niece Laura informs her of some weird goings on with Julianna. Ronnie immerses herself in trying to find out all she can about the woman, which leads her to the mystery of the story.

I found Ronnie to be a likable character if a bit too nosy for her own good. I did enjoy the humor involved of course and the plot was well thought out. There are a few 'accidents' that lead Ronnie down a path that she probably stay out of, but she is bound and determined to 'save' her brother from any more heartache. Along with her faithful dog and a man in her martial arts class, they investigate all the clues that puts everyone in danger.

I enjoy a book with a strong female character and Ronnie certainly is one of those. I think this is a book that can be enjoyed by the person who enjoys a good mystery romp. ( )
