Asking for Trouble

Summary: Don't miss this one
Review: This book displays an unusual tentativeness for an author with a large number of previously published crime novels. Nevertheless, it is a refreshing addition to the genre. The main protagonist, Fran, is a very young homeless girl who is as naive as she is unpretentious. She is the best characterisation of all the characters in this book - the remainder being somewhat two dimensional. Don't give up on this book though as Fran is a delightful character and one well worth following through the other parts of this series.
