Lessons in Murder (Carol Ashton Mysteries, #1)

This is a book I have had for quite a while but haven’t read it because I haven’t been able to find any of the others in the series (and I think their might be 15 or 16 others). You might think this is a strange reason, but what if I really like the first book then can’t find the rest, the frustration could be overwhelming. Having noticed in an update from Bella books that they have the some Carol Ashton books, I thought it was time to give it a go.
Well I’m frustrated, because I liked this book and I wish somebody (probably Bella Books) would republish all Claire Ashton’s back catalogue as e-books.
At the start of the book the central character seems a bit too perfect but I soon found myself really liking her. I’m not sure what it is, but Carol has something about her that makes her out of the ordinary. The actual mystery started slowly but soon got going and worked well for the first half of the book. Later on it bogged down a little and didn’t flow as well, but picked up again near the end.
I must admit I found the on/off relationship between Carol and Sybil a bit annoying, both saying exactly the right words to infuriate each other, seemingly every time they met. While at the same time having a different conversation in their heads, this became a bit tedious after happening several times.
