This is such a pleasurable book with so many great characters. I love the author's wit and the way he portrays the inner thoughts of his characters. A fun read that is great for the pool- or beach-side as we head into summer. (If you're looking for that kind of thing)

it's a murder mystery sporting its fair share of twists and turns as thee "investigators" work through the clues an interrogate suspects. All the primary characters are pretty well fleshed-out, making them 2.5, if not three-dimensional. This has a great pacing, and I love the short chapters, allowing one to read the book and get to a stopping point even when one is prone to interruptions.
