Filled with quirky characters, snappy dialogue, and an intriguing plot, this murder mystery is a hit!  Woven into the fast paced tale is also a heart-breaking background of abuse and alcoholism that adds depth to Marisa Adair, the main character.(and to some of the other characters.)  Despite her dark personal struggles, her part in the story is light and intelligent, and her wish to help and empathize with others makes her a thoroughly likable character. The blend of humor and seriousness is well done. The story moving from online dating group meetings, to strip clubs, to assisted living facilities, and flirtatious trysts, there is never a dull moment as Marisa and her "gang" investigate murders that have hit close to home. We come to find out that several of the characters are not what them seem to be. Lots of twists and turns in the plot as they finally come to the resolution that involves betrayal, but also revelations from the past.
