This author certainly liked to describe the physical characteristics of the characters. REALLY used unkind words to describe people who were overweight. Plus, there was no need (in my opinion) to spend 5 pages making internal monologue fat "joke" comment/descriptions about a minor character. Furthermore, the plot took too long to get to the point. Was hoping I found a new series to jump into but, I do not foresee me reading anymore of the alphabet.

Pacing was good, with the story moving along nicely to keep me wanting to see what would happen next. I wouldn't say the final twist was all that twisty- certainly one you could see coming if you read a decent amount of this genre. All that being said, it was a good, if standard, PI/mystery book and I enjoyed the time reading it.
