Loved it, Loved it, Loved it!!!!

Interesting title but that is not what caught my attention. I figured I would pick a book that was not the same old relationship drama and I picked the right book. Mirror, Mirror is a mystery about deception and relationships but taken to a new level. In this murder mystery, Jordan, the main character, is a loose cannon just ready to explode. Once she does, she finds herself in the arms of her married boss and being accused of murder. The ending of the novel was completely unpredictable and I found myself wondering if there was a hidden message in all of this. Hmmmmmmmm. Great job.

This is definitely worth the money

This was one book that was very good. I read Ms. Handfields first novel, My Diet Starts Tomorrow and really enjoyed that one so therefore I picked this one up. It is definitely not the same old relationship type book that I have been reading lately. This is more of a relationship intertwined with suspense and mystery that unfolds to a surprise ending. I would have to say I definitely recommend this book to anyone that enjoys being left on the edge of your seat. Great job and I look forward to more from you.

I couldn't figure it out!

I loved this novel. It had so many twists and turns and in the end I couldn't figure out who the murderer was. I recently read Ms. Handfield's first novel My diet starts tomorrow which was a relationship book and was surprised to see her delve into the mystery world. What a great surprise. I couldn't put it down and it only took me one day to read it.

Do you know the person in your mirror?

Wow! what a suspenseful tale, this book was too good it will keep you on the edge of your seat. A must read. This author is a great storyteller.

Excellent Murder Mystery!!!!

Mirror Mirror is about a young woman (Jordan) who is in love with a married man who just so happens to be accused of a murder. When he enlists her help in clearing himself of the charges, Jordan finds herself sinking deeper and deeper into something she has lost control of.Laurel Handfield has done an excellent job with her second attempt. Although I tried to figure out who the killer was, I just couldn't and when I found out, I was surprised. Ms. Handfield has created a great murder mystery. I read this book in one day. This book will definitely be a hit.
