Book inception!!!

It's a book about a murder within a book about a murder, AND, the detective in the book-within-the-book is ALSO writing a book, so it's a book within a book within a book...

I enjoyed it just fine. I had never thought about this, but last month at book club – in which we were discussing The Kiss Quotient — we were talking about how some of us seek out romance when we want to read “fluff” and others seek out mystery, and well ... I tend toward romance. So I didn't suspect any of the actual killers, was surprised at the end of both storylines, and I thought the book inception was a cool device.

I'm counting this towards Read Harder: a cozy mystery.
