I also found myself laughing out loud but appreciating that the book wasn’t so silly that it undercut the real issues Millie is dealing with–the loss of her mom to cancer a few years previously, falling for her mysterious classmate, her dad’s perceived guilt, etc.Īs a mystery, it definitely wasn’t a knock-you-off-your-chair, definitely-didn’t-see-that-coming big reveal (I figured out the murderer and murder weapon about 100 pages before Millie), but still well-worth the journey.Īs far as I know, this is a standalone book but I would spend more time with Millie in a heartbeat. Putting the dead in deadline To Bee or not to Bee When the widely disliked Honeywell. I love how excited she can get about pie, ugly dogs and the prospect of becoming “Sir Millie” at Sir Loin’s Steakhouse for consuming a 60 oz porterhouse in one sitting.

I can’t remember the last time I was this charmed by a character. My favorite part of this book, hands-down, was Millie Ostermeyer.
