Why read it?

1 author picked Murder at the White Palace as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Gwen and Iris are both originals, and their friendship as well as their tendency to stumble into murder, not to mention their ingenious methods of matching up intractable lonely hearts, has me rooting for them all the way.

Like all the others, this book was so much fun I hated to see it end.
