Review: A likeable protagonist, a good plot, interesting supporting characters, & enough action to satisfy.

I'm a fan of the old-school Continental Op-type of detective stories. That is, I'm usually more interested in the mystery and its solution than in the "character development" and "growth" and so forth that so many reviewers seem to like. In fact I tend to dislike reading too much about a detective's/investigator's personal problems and opinions. In this case, though, I found myself ok with that aspect of the book and, for me, it even added to the story. I just hope the author doesn't get carried away and let the stories get too focused on Quinn's personal life rather than his/her cases. I took a chance on this story because it was free and I'm glad I did. It certainly did it's job as a "loss leader" and I'll be shopping for other books in the series.
