I’m sort of hit or miss with the Carlotta novels, I’ve read a few, but not all of them and not in order. As a character, I like Carlotta. She’s the same as other female P.I.s, but also like some of the men as she has a hell of a libido and isn’t ashamed of it. In this one she gives it a bit of reign with a hot construction guy. And of course she had a little personal danger on the way to solving the case, but came out OK. Maybe I’m getting too jaded and need to cut back on my detective genre novels because this one didn’t move me at all and I felt like I wasted my time reading it. I think I should intersperse other books more liberally in order to keep enjoying these. ( )

About the big di under the city of Boston and possible corruption. Also, Carlyle is working her PI business on the side with a wealthy widow for a missing friend.

It got scary toward the end when Carlyle is involved in the rescue of the girl and the owner's daughter of the Construction Project.

lots of local references to the Big Dig and the Boston area, enjoyable mystery. ( )
