Bookworm Review: "Mobbed" by Carol Higgins Clark

Mobbed by Carol Higgins Clark
Pocket Books, 2011

First Line: "Get that phone call over with."

From the back cover: Exactly what is going on in Edna Frawley's beach house? When a total stranger offers Edna a hefty sum to sell the place, the incorrigible octogenarian jumps at the chance. Edna's daughter, who lives in San Diego- hearing her mother is holding a garage sale featuring personal items left behind when the actress Cleo Paradise rented the house- asks her old friend Nora Reilly to check up on Edna. A short train ride later, Nora and Regan are trying to work out a pile of unanswered questions. Why did Cleo depart suddenly, leaving a large number of belongings behind? How does Regan's friend Hayley's two-timing boyfriend, Scott, fit into the picture? Scott's new fiance, Jillian, is conducting the sale for Edna, but she disappears after catching sight of Regan. As the questions stack up and still nobody has heard from Cleo, her panicked parents beg Regan to find her. But is there time, or will Cleo's next hours be her last?

My Thoughts: This is not my typical read, however, my grandmother lent it to me. We trade books from time to time when we read a good book. I guess I get my love of reading from her. This was my first time reading a Carol Higgins Clark book, and it was a pretty decent read. It is a mystery novel that definitely kept me guessing. I never could figure out who the bad guy/girl was. The chapters were laid out similar to James Patterson's novels.

The only negative I have about Mobbed is that is introduced so many characters but never went into much detail about them. It lightly touched on each of them but I still had questions unanswered. For this reason, I gave the book 3 1/2 stars.

I started this blog a few months ago to give me motivation to get some procrastinated projects done and have really enjoyed getting to know other people through blogs. I like to show crafts, recipes and write about different things that are on my mind. Plus, I'm starting to get my husband on board with these projects which makes it even more fun :).

Birthdays, Baseball, and Graduations

The past two weekends have been so exciting and fun for our family. Last weekend we traveled to Auburn for my cousin's graduation (War Eagle). Zana and I have always been so close. We are not only cousins but we are best friends as well. I am so proud of her and all of her accomplishments.

That Sunday we also celebrated Alex's senior night at church. She looked absolutely beautiful and had the best table set up. She is officially graduating this Friday, and I know she has been counting down. I can't believe my baby sister is graduating. Time flies.

This past weekend we celebrated my oldest nephew's 1st birthday! I can't believe he is already one. He was JUST born! Tanner had a Dr. Seuss birthday party and if you know me, you know that I LOVE Dr. Seuss! It was so much fun and everything looked adorable. His mamma did a great job!

After the party, we enjoyed a night of baseball with some friends. It was such a nice night for baseball.

On Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day with our moms! I have the best mother in the world, and I have been blessed with a wonderful mother-in-law. We enjoyed some great food and family time. My sister-in-law even gave me my first Mother's Day present! It was so sweet and thoughtful. I hope you were all blessed to spend Mother's Day with your moms. 

Mom and me on my wedding day.
