Fun and entertaining,  but also gave me a lot to think about.  Blanche has quickly become one of my favorite mystery protagonists.  She engages not just in the mystery at hand, but the real, human dynamics at play. She is cautious with her heart, but when she meets a worthy recipient,  loves quickly and with a real understanding of them. I like to think (or at least I hope) I would qualify.
