The creators' of this book were kind enough to send me a copy. Thirteen stories with a Halloween theme. So far, this bit of romantic suspense is my fave.
At age twenty-five, Lizzie is the last member of her college crowd to remain single, a fact that her dear friends are not about mentioning. At a wedding she meets a waiter who seems like a nice guy, but those same friends -- all married to doctors and lawyers, all thinner and more attractive than Lizzie -- are incredulous of the very idea of dating a waiter.
And Lizzie begins to wonder who her friends are, in more senses than one. Eventually, of course, there is a crime, and that reminded me of a very old joke about the difference between friends and real friends.
There is a twist at the end that didn't turn the whole story upside down but did make me say hmm...
A fun read.
