This is the first Fortune book I've read that wasn't Janice Deleon written. I'm surprised it was so good. You can tell the difference but still enjoyable reading.

I read the story a couple of times so I wouldn't miss the comedy and snarky dialogue between the characters. Read the fabulous beginning to the book a couple times like I did. It's hilarious!

The first thing about this book that stood out to me was the humor. While the suspense/mystery aspect was the main theme of the book, the humor was a nice touch. The story line was creative and kept me engaged. I found it to be one of those books that I wanted to keep reading to find out what happens next.

An act of misfortune hits all the buttons. There's plenty of action, lots of humor and slick investigative work, all of which utilize strong female leads with a humorous side story. Fun and entertaining.
