Summary: A faced paced novel with a strong, humorous leading woman.
Review: I especially enjoyed this book because the main character was so human, her strengths and weaknesses are a real part of the book. The book itself is funny, a great set of characters - including her mother the shrink. The ending made sense, without reaching at all. All in all I highly recommend this book, and eagerly look foward to her next one.

Summary: Funny & entertaining with a spunky heroine to root for
Review: This was a fast & fun read with highly entertaining characters. Dutch wasn't a know-it-all P.I. but one whose flaws made her endearing. This "not so tough cookie" treasures her independence, but also seeks to make connections with loved ones. Don't expect the "murder mystery" to be complex -- the zany characters are what make this mystery fun. In fact, the most important mystery Dutch is trying to solve seems to be the lifelong mystery of herself, as she finally finds some concrete clues to her father's identity. Minor characters also change and grow by the end of novel. Don't expect deep social commentary or heart-wrenching drama -- but if you're looking for a light mystery where you can care about the characters, this is one!
