I've read every one of the Desiree Shapiro mysteries, and while I loved them all, I felt this was the best. I truly could not put it down. I really enjoyed having her work with a man, and enjoyed their banter. Desiree is very entertaining, and remains fresh, as far as I'm concerned. Yes, she is neurotic and has no impulse control regarding food, but that is part of her charm. I'm now reading the last book in the series, and am looking forward to more. Keep them coming, Ms. Eichler!

And huzzah, finally, it was in a nearby bookstore. I was somewhat disappointed with the latest entry, however. It seemed to me, she copied the ending from one of her earlier books. And please, Desiree, this is the 21st century. It's ok to ask a man out! (Her asking herself, "does he or does he not like me?" seems very juvenile and out of character.) The characters did not seem very well-written or deep (she needs to read some Dorothy Simpson). I hope S. Eichler does better in 2001, because I'll be waiting to read it, hoping for a better effort.

You don't have to be from a big city to enjoy hearing about this plus size private eye. Her adventures are a fast read and will have you coming back for more.
