4.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully funny, descriptive and entertaining., June 24, 1998
By A Customer
Dez Shapiro made a hit with me. She was funny and didn't let her size or age intimiate her in any way. The mind of a detective was clearly used here as she processed the multiple murders into a solution of why and who done it. She was a delight to read and plan to add the following books to my reading list.

3.0 out of 5 stars A light read., March 18, 2002
By 
Tabitha M Hochscheid (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews
Desiree Shapiro is a fun, enjoyable and interesting character. This book is a well thought out enjoyable read with only a few minor draw backs. First, the fat humor borders on excess. Second, the niece's relationships and the additional girlfriend plot were distracting. Overall, however, I enjoyed it as fluff reading. It was pleasant to have mind candy with a female heroine that wasn't of the trashy romance variety. I plan to read the rest of the series as I feel the need to let the stresses of my life disappear for awhile.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good and Cozy, November 21, 2004
This first book in the Private Eye "Desiree Shapiro" mysteries was pretty good. But advertised as a "Queen-Size Manhattan PI", which is why I bought the book thinking 'here's something different', there wasn't much reference to her being fat. The author could have done a lot more with that angle and should have since that is the series' signature mark. Still, the plot was fine; characters pretty good; and it was a fairly fast read. It was easy to keep track of what was happening. I found the writing to be charming, with a good sense of humor. I'll read another.
