Night of the Living Deed

I really enjoyed the NJ setting and wry humor from the protagonist. The mystery is well done, and most of the characters are likeable – I didn't like Maxie at all at first, but she grew on me. :) Of the cozies I've read set in NJ or “down the shore,” this is definitely the one I'd most readily recommend!

A note: I saw in other reviews people complained about the grammar, but I didn't have the same problem at all. Some sentences are long and phrase-y, sure, but I followed them just fine. Then again, I grew up reading Bronte and tend to write long sentences myself, so maybe I am biased. xD
