Summary: Great characters! Great plot! Great read!
Review: Following the twists and turns of not only Zen's life, but those of her clients, is a thrilling and intimate ride through the twists and turns of the streets of Los Angeles and areas north and south. With details so vivid it's as if you're watching on a screen, Zen brings this book and everyone in it to life, that is, except her cat. Zen is an intelligent, introspective female private detective who shares her soul and her wit with those who are willing to jump on the roller coaster. So, hop on, strap yourself in and follow Zen on her experience - it's worth it!

Summary: The Truth is
Review: that the author has alot of potential. I'm particularly looking forward to more Zen Moses books. And I think that character development, plotting, etc will improve with experience. Cosin and her editors should stress RESEARCHING locales, etc.
Also - when did CHEVROLET start making Grand Ams??
Now specifics about this book - I read probably 25 to 30 mysteries, PI's, Crime Fiction's a month. Like peanuts. I judge that a book in the genre by entertainment value - humor, excitement, imaginative, etc. I NEVER expect deep intellectual, Nobel Peace prize winning writing.
I liked the Zen Moses character, her struggles and her methods for solving a crime. I look forward to future books in this series. I expect both the author and character to evolve. Zen is refreshing, with flaws to be sure, but someone I care to read more of.

Summary: He Died, Came Back and was Murdered
Review: Zen Moses is a cynical, wise-cracking P.I. who is both a loner and a survivor. At thirty-three she's already beat a bout with cancer and she still smokes, cigars, that is. But even a tough girl can have a bad day. Her cat is dead. The IRS wants to audit her. And she just found her cousin Danny's body bound to a beer keg at Father's Office, her favorite neighborhood bar. However Danny had supposedly committed suicide a dozen years earlier, one of the many in the mass suicide of Guru Tama Tai's followers out in High Cliffs Ranch.Danny's father asks her to investigate, which is the least she can do, plus she'd like to know where he's been all this time. Also doing this might end the long estrangement she's had with the only family she's known. However she also has another case. She's looking for the long-lost father of TV talk-show host Latisha Maxwell. Then someone starts shadowing her in a Mercedes and Zen realizes that she's just one step ahead of a hit man. Why? Was is it because of the dirty secrets and dirty money that had been swilling around her dead cousin or does it have something to do with Latisha's missing father, last seen heading toward the border? This is a moody, dark and fast-paced book with just the right amount of twists in the tale to stay one jump ahead of you as you speed along toward the satisfying end. I predict that wise-cracking Zen (Zenaria) Moses will have you rushing out to the bookstore to buy the next book in the series. I know I did. Karen Holtz, New Jersey Book Girl
