    • Dec 28, Jennifer rated it it was ok. I really liked the characters, and could feel for the main character being a mom of 2 boys! But I thought a sleuthing story would involve murder and it didn't. The plot and solved mystery didn't really do anything for me. Oct 23, Linda Steiger rated it really liked it. Lots of verbal highjacks, alliteration, and cleverness in this satiric romp about the life and townies of Bezerkley California not to be confused with the university which co-locates. Looking forward to Laura's second book--a real murder mystery.

    Maybe move over Carl Hiaasen.

    Dec 20, Jack rated it liked it. Interesting mystery novel featuring Californians of all kinds in a tale of intrigue about a school. Jan 22, Cathy B rated it it was ok. Was looking for something humorous and light. Did have these aspects to it but never got investing in the story or the characters. Aug 25, Sue rated it it was ok. The title pretty much explains it. It's okay if you don't have anything else to read.

    Lewis rated it did not like it. Oh my gosh, I hated this book. I couldn't finish it. The F word, the constant reference to "little people" as dwarfs or something worse. Simply not my genre. Jul 29, Mary rated it liked it. Loved her snarky writing style and sense of humor. The story was fun. Sometimes a little hard to follow. Overall a nice light read.
