This book was not at all what I expected. I’ve never read Lawrence Sanders, and based on the little bit that was on the back of the book I was expecting a more serious whodunit. What I got instead was funny and lighthearted and, most surprising, featured an interesting and endearing female lead character. I hope he’s written more books with Mary Lou Bateson in them, because I really liked her and related to her right away. I didn’t completely agree with the decision she makes at the end of the book, but I sort of understand it.
