Colleen Collins's new PI couple Rick and Laura make for a great read.  Rick Levine is trying to go straight after losing his career and livelihood as a lawyer with his addiction to drugs and alcohol.  The characters in this book are solidly written and have lives with which you can relate.  When I read the words of Rick and how he has humorous comebacks to a lot of his situations, I think of "Spenser" in the Robert Parker novels.  Rick is not as hardboiled as Hammer, Marlowe, and Spade, he is a thinker and has feelings when he relates with the characters and happenings around him.  Colleen Collins has a real way with word pictures.  You will like this mystery and PI couple. I am hoping that Ms. Collins writes a lot more PI mysteries with these characters.
