LAUGH-OUT-LOUD MOMENTS---A cute, light mystery with likable characters and funny laugh-out-loud moments. Not too heavy on the yoga--just a taste of it for those of us who don't have a clue.
not just for yoga fansThis is not a mystery just for yoga fans. There is alot of references to yoga but it's not bothersome in anyway. It's a cute book but not for serious mystery readers. I also didn't feel like it was very humorous either. I guess it would be okay for a quick read on a boring day. I won't continue with the series.
You don't need to be a yoga fanatic to enjoy this bookI loved this book- I admit I'm a bit biased, since yoga and cozy mysteries are two of my favorite past-times, but I really thought the writing was fantastic and Ms. Killian managed to write a story about a murdered yoga teacher without making the story about yoga. Lack of a reader's knowledge about yoga doesn't detract from the story at all, because the main character barely knows anything about yoga herself when she inherits her aunt's studio. The characters were crisply drawn and realistic. The main character, A.J., has a bad haircut, has a difficult relationship with her once-famous mother, is divorced from her now out of the closet gay husband, and loves junk food. So many of these books have female leads that are effortlessly thin, fashionable, gorgeous and virtuous. It's refreshing to see a gal with a few insecurities and flaws. Okay, so A.J. is now a millionaire heiress, but that's really the only thing she's got going for her for a while. The dialogue is very believable and quite funny at times and there are enough red herrings thrown into the story to have the reader glued to the book late into the night to read 'just one more chapter.' The pace of the story is good, not heart-pounding but not slow. I found this book very satisfying, the characters likeable and the setting charming. I am looking forward to the next book in the series, out in November 09, to see where A.J.'s journey takes her next.
Good StartI'm not into yoga, but I enjoyed this book even more than I thought I would. The characters were all likeable and fun, and while there were a few loose ends left hanging (what happened to her dog when AJ bolted from the studio at the end?), it was nothing that detracted from the story.
Looking forward to the next in the series!
Excellent start to a new seriesI am a big fan of cozy mysteries though clearly some series are better than others. This was an excellent book, with wonderful, well-developed characters and a good plot. I'm looking forward to reading more books by this author. Loved the yoga theme!
Product DescriptionReaders will bend over backward for the debut of the first yoga mystery series.
Ever since her husband ditched her-for another man-A.J. hasn't exactly been on the road to inner peace. Then her yoga-guru aunt is found dead, and A.J.'s named the sole heir to her lucrative yoga studio-making her a multimillionaire, a prime suspect, and the killer's next target.
