What a privileged life she must live where she thought it was totally cool to throw something at a cop, even if he was a little sweet on her.<br /><br />Camilla setting up a trap didn't really bother me, but I keep my "Suspension of disbelief" standards fairly low for cozies. They didn't quite drift into "too stupid to live" territory, so I was happy enough with the ending.Mia P.

I'd be checking the doors and windows often to make sure they were locked. I wouldn't be walking alone *anywhere*, even with dogs unless I had a gun or knife on me. I'd be checking the back of my car, the trunk every time I got in to make sure the murderer wasn't hiding there.Edithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01164759298656262095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464460329318353930.post-26178520865473919312016-07-25T19:17:01.334-05:002016-07-25T19:17:01.334-05:00As an aspiring mystery writer myself, Lena's c...As an aspiring mystery writer myself, Lena's character is super fun and relatable.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Mia P.
