I enjoyed this first voyage of Toni Morretti quite a bit. From the first paragraph I was sucked into the story and it just kept on moving at a nice clip. I think this book kind of has everything that a mystery/suspense novel should have: a dark and gritty backstory for the main character, a loveable cat, a quirky mysterious mentor, lots of disguises and tension filled scenarios . . . you get my point.
While not as outwardly funny as Evanovich's books, I definitely got the same sort of vibe from this book. It didn't quite have the comedy or romance tension, but it was like it took the more serious elements of Evanovich's storylines and actually turned them into something a bit more literary. I think I'll be checking out more of the series as it comes out. My interest is definitely piqued and I am excited to see where Toni goes.
