The first part of this book (it is divided into 3 parts) is just background information that the author needs to know, but as a reader, I did not.
The actual story of a rich wife, Allison, whose husband leaves her for his first wife and is forced to take a job as a maid where she is later accused of murdering her Devil Wears Prada-ish boss, doesn't even start until 88 pages into the book!
The rest of the book, while at least having the story to tell, is still rather boring and much too long.
Allison is not the most likeable character. She has an extremely annoying habit whenever something bad or unpleasant happens to her (like when a police officer is giving her a body cavity search) of thinking: "Quick! Quick! A joke! A joke!" After which she procedes to tell a knock-knock joke. She does this many, many times. It was very irritating.
This book desperately tries to be light and funny and, in my opinion, never once succeeds. If you're looking for a funny mystery to read, try Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series and leave Cha Cha Cha to dance solo. ( )
