Eh. This will shock anyone who knows me, but really, there IS such a thing as too much sarcasm. I mean, if every thought you have, just to yourself, is sarcastic, you might have a wee bit of a problem. It also was so oddly placed at times... anyhow, beyond that, the mystery itself was interesting enough, most of the plot turns pretty predictable but not entirely. Good diversion, but nothing I'll remember in a few months, I'm sure.
(And just how old is the writer? She kept writing about these decrepit old senior citizens and large-living retired folks who were in their 50s. It was just bizarre.)

I loved every minute of this book! It kept a nice steady pace with an air of suspense. No doubt some of the twists in the story did not come as much of a surprise. What I really remember the most about this book and what I really loved was the witty humor of the main character. Within the first chapter I was in love with her. Whatever the flaws the book were they went unnoticed due to her.

Mary Cooper is a private investigator who is looking into the murder of her uncle. She is a pistol packing comedian. Her Uncle Brent was a stand-up comedian so she comes by her sense of humor naturally. As she begins her investigation, it quickly goes from bad to worse.
It was a fast moving story with surprises here and there.

I'd probably give it more of a 2 1/2. It was your basic cookie cutter murder mystery. The main character was borderline annoying with always having to have the quick wit and the comebacks. Enjoyable and a quick read.

A little sarcasm goes a long way. The detective's constant and unrelenting sarcasm wears thin almost immediately. Her motivations didn't always make sense either, which made this story kind of cartoonish. On the plus side it moved fast and was short.
