Thoroughly enjoyable. Kate Brannigan PI is cool. Such an atmospheric, quick read. Definitely worth reading more in the series (probably should read the first two next as I somehow ended up with book 3 first!)

This was the first book I remembered reading from the first time around— and either I enjoyed it far more this time, or my memory confused this book with another series. In this one, Kate’s boyfriend is helping her with a car scam, and accidentally gets caught with a book [trunk] full of someone else’s crack and it is up to Kate to find the real culprits and child-mind her boyfriend’s visiting young son without letting him find out that his father’s in jail.
I like the fact that the mysteries usually develop into several different plots.
