Customer Reviews

An Excellent, Enjoyable, Page-Turner with a Fabulous Heroine

This is a marvelous, light-hearted mystery involving Bonnie Indermill, the "temp". I love Bonnie's sense of humor, the problems with her brother and sister-in-law and the men in her life, which just spices up a juicy tale of murder in a Manhattan office, with plenty of suspects to go around. I have read a number of Bonnie Indermill mysteries, but this is, by far, the best. I hope Carole Berry has a new one coming out soon. I look forward to it.

Carole Berry is the best!

Being an Administrative Assistant I can identify a lot with some of the job situations Bonnie Indermill finds herself in. It's fun to read a book where the main character does the same kind of work you do. Carole Berry's books are the greatest in that they offer humor and a good mystery at the same time. I don't even have to read what the book is about, if it was written by Carole Berry then you know you are in for an enjoyable time. I would highly recommend all of her books.
