An Average who-done-it cozy with a radio psycologist as the main character.

Meet Maggie Walsh radio personality living in Cypress Grove FL. After her guest Guru Sanyay Ginjii does a radio interview with Maggie, he is found dead in his hotel room. From the moment she meets the Guru, she knows hes a fraud an a fake. Yet with tons of loyal followers, its going to be a job to find out how he really died. Maggies roomate, Lark is placed at the scene of the crime and is the only suspect the police have. As the clock ticks, the police are building a strong case against Lark, so Maggie decides to do some investigating of her own.

This book really draws you in right from the get-go. Maggie is a pretty laid back character with a good head on her shoulders. My only complaint with this book is Maggies mother; a washed up old actress who is completely full of herself. Some parts of the sleuthing were a bit on the unbelieveable side. Maggie usually ends up at the right place at the right time to talk to the people she needs to. Seems like shes a lucky gal.

Anyhow, this was a good start to a new series. I will probably read the next one when it comes out. I wont be rushing to the book store to grab it right away though. It was an OK book, just kind of average.
