The PMS Murders are part of the Jane Austen series, another formulaic not-real-mystery, this time starting a struggling freelance writer. These books are not really mysteries in the sense of giving you a limited number of suspects and enough evidence that you could figure out who did it. Rather, they follow the "detective" through her progress of finding out what happened. Pretty much all "newer" mysteries are of this sort, lighthearted and quick reads and completely forgetable. Junk reading at its best.
What somewhat differentiates the Jane Austen mysteries are their humor. They are written by Laura Levine, whom according to the book's jacket is a comedy writer with a lot of TV credits from the 1970's, and they are hillarious. I particularly enjoy the e-mail correspondence between Jaine and her wacky parents in Florida. So much so that I was afraid I'd wake up Camila as I couldn't contain my laughter.
This is the third Jaine Austen mystery I've read (I think), and I'll look for others at the library.
