I quite enjoyed this.  Jackie is a female investigator doing small time workers comp cases for an insurance company.  When his boss gives her an assignment to investigate a $1.9 million jewelry theft, she looks at it as a significant step up in her career ladder.  But the case is far from simple and when she comes across the first of the bodies, a woman with a bullet hole in her forehead, she knows she's not in Kansas anymore. But she is a big girl and is determined to tough it out.  The novel is filled with colorful characters from Jackie's trailer park landlords, to her macho bounty hunter ex-boyfriend Hugh (he of the Walther and cowboy attitude) to her friend Rocky Venezuela, a probation officer who deals with small crime cases, the last three suddenly thrown into the big leagues.  The novel is quirky and colored with a jaunty narrative.  Four solid stars.
