This was a "quick read" chosen by my book club. It's a straightforward murder mystery with wisecracking investigators and buxom babes. The narrator is exceedingly fond of bad puns, which is cute at first but wears thin after a while. I didn't like the book very much, but that's in large part because I don't care much for mystery novels in general.

The author, Glenn Ickler, lives in Hopedale and joined us for the book club discussion, which made it hard to have an open discussion, but it was interesting to hear him talk about his "retirement career" writing mystery novels.
