As far as light mysteries go, this one is fun and entertaining, well written for a bit of quick reading. Don't expect great literature, but sometimes we want to just be entertained. The plot was creative and about as non-bloody as a murder mystery can be. Poor Jake Russo is somewhat of a loser, but really likable. For being a fairly smart guy, he sometimes acts pretty stupid. I really, really cheered him on. And did he get what he wanted in the end? I'm not telling. Four stars not because this is a classic but because it is a very good example of this lightweight genre. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
