LOVED IT

First off, it is best you read And Then Everything Unraveled before you enjoy this one.  The plot is continued from that and only gets deeper.  I really love the character of Delia as she has developed from the first novel.  This is a perfect mini chick lit mystery that will have to staying up late to finish.  The first one left me hanging and I hated that I had to wait a year to get to this one.  The same thing happened here though.  I am dying to get to the next installment.
