Why read it?

1 author picked Invitation to Murder as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a damn-near perfect cozy mystery. It's got a great setting (a small town in the New Jersey Palisades), and the main character, Lacey, is smart and likable. She just wants to get on with her life, running her party-planning business and maybe enjoying a glass of wine or three with her aunt, a soap opera star. But, of course, murder intervenes.

It's got a genuinely twisty mystery, and even has a budding romance between Lacey and her old classmate, Derek.

I found myself wanting to visit Willow bluffs—never mind the murders!
