The initially implausible situation -- a young woman meets a man and his dog whom she finds camped out on her rooftop terrace and invites them in for breakfast -- is somehow made quite believable. The author accomplishes this magical feat by giving us a narrator/protagonist who is real, likable, interesting and layered. The pacing works and the writing never gets in its own way. While there's certainly a chick-lit quality to this -- Caz is single, young, attractive and has more than one character interested in pursuing a romance with her, this lacks the whinging quality of a lot of that genre and should appeal to anyone (male or female) who likes a good mystery. If Caz continues to find herself involved with investigations, I'll be happy to follow her adventures. </span></span></span></span></span></em></span></span></div><div style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><em><span style="font-style:normal;line-height:normal;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><em><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;">Marion Stein</span></span></span></em><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;">, author of </span></span></span></span><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;">Loisada<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></em></span></em></span></span></div><div style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><em><span style="font-style:normal;line-height:normal;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;"><em></em></span></span></span></span></span></em></span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:13px;"><font size="3"><span style="font-size:12px;font-style:normal;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;"><strong></strong></span></span></span></span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:13px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;">This is a good read, full of wonderful quirky detail, with very real settings, rounded characters and a plausible plot.<br /></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><em><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;">Jill Prewitt</span></span></span></em></span></span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><em><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></span></em></span></span></span></span></p></div>
