I started reading this author because Lee Child recommended him highly. Easy to see why!!
It is more playful than I expected, kind of Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard,Ace Atkins feel to it!!
Again I read every book in the series and was happy with them all!!

I really wanted to like this book, but it was just meh. It had an interesting premise, but the characters never really hooked me. I'm not sure if this being a purse book impacted that, as I was not constantly reading it. Joe was a bit boring; he wanted to be slutty but never fully committed. He wanted to figure out who killed Brenda and Dick, and succeeded in that, but the hi-jinks along the way were more tired than funny or frightening. I will not be continuing with this series.

Fun, local for LA, and a good whodunnit.
