3.0
I know I hated the other Baratz-Logsted book I read, but I read The Thin Pink Line a few years ago and loved it, but felt totally cheated by the end. This book, then, was very exciting for me to find! Even coming at it this much later, I still remembered the story and characters enough that I got into it quickly, and it's obvious that the stilted style from the other book of hers I'd read was exactly that - a style used for the book. This one was well-written, funny, entertaining, and just a touch over-the-top, but in a good way. Predictable, yes, but definitely entertaining, and it manages to seem totally unpredictable since the main character is such a great lunatic (I mean that in the nicest way!)
