This book is about cop and PI families...as expected the cast is overly large. People keep introducing themselves and it's hard to keep track. People are getting poisoned and the cop and PI who somehow don't get along....but, but, but, you can easily see that romance is in the future of this soon to be series. Don't fret, the author will get them together eventually. Ferreting out the perp is slooooow work for the cop and the PI and they wander around among the humongous cast, interviewing, interviewing, interviewing. They finally come up with the killer somehow bloodlessly with no overt action. I guess this in an intellectual exercise in mystery solving but I just didn't see much intellect here.The cop (soon to leave the force to run the PI firm along with the disliked PI) spends half the book drinking coffee...a HUGE intake of coffee, not by the cup but LARGE carafes and jugs. That and a lot of eating take up most of her time. All this does not add to the mystery. She is a caffeine junkie.I just couldn't get interested in this book. Maybe the next book in the series will be better, hopefully with the angst of this dysfunctional relationship resolved so the pair can go out and happily solve crimes.
