The earlier reviews sum this up well but I wanted to make some comparisons for those who might be new to this author as well.

This was an enjoyable book. I can't say that most men will enjoy this (if you like Brad Thor or Clive Cussler, it may not be your style; it can be wordy, though the descriptions certainly enhance the reading for me). It reminded me of early "Anita Blake" by Laurell Hamilton (Only NORMAL, not paranormal; books 1-7, before she got over-the-top-weird) or a softened JR Robb/Nora Roberts' "In Death" series. (Though, these are contemporary fiction.) It was certainly better in my mind than "Stephanie Plum" but it has that sort of girl gets into trouble/girl gets out of trouble feel; Julie just isn't ditzy like Plum.

A quick and easy read that had me 'knowing' who the murderer was... until the end. ;-) Definitely worth the time invested!
