This review is from: Baffled in Boston (Paperback)

Gary Provost writes an easy to get into mystery that takes place, as the title says, in Boston. The word play is reminiscent of Parker's Spencer. The plot of the hero's close friend being a possible murder victim starts the story and travels down a somewhat predictable road. If your from the Boston or New England area, many of the sights and locations in this book will strike a chord. While the ending may be predictable, the story that takes you there is an enjoyable one.
