Review: A Rare Treat
Rating: 4 out of 5

When a killing occurs in the alley behind Lucy's antique shop, it serves as the beginning of more than a crime story.  There's the mystery of why anyone would want the dried up corpse of a weasel, for one thing.  For another, there's whether or not Lucy will get her job back (or want it back) as a reporter with the local newspaper. LOOSE SCREW is well-written, there's a nice sprinkling of humor, and it includes a believable three dimensional protagonist who is the focus of the story.Though the mystery element may be a bit far-fetched, it is still within the realm of possibility and, nicely intewoven in the story, is a budding romance that stays well clear of being cloying.  All in all this is a refreshing, entertaining novel.
