15 Minutes, A Romantic Comedy Mystery Novel

A fun, clean-leaning series opener with a charming, bumbling heroine and enough banter to keep the pages turning. The reality-TV-star-turned-detective hook is a little gimmicky and the mystery itself takes a backseat to setup, so it's a pleasant read rather than a must-read.
