This book made me laugh out loud several times. I really wish I would have known the fire investigator was high on pain meds through the entire book because that would have made her dialogue style make a lot more sense. Besides that, I loved this twist on a murder mystery and I will definitely be checking out more Sister Holiday books if the author writes more.
