Rapunzel is the latest mystery offering from uber-blogger Molly Greene, featuring PI Gen Delacourt.When Cambria (Bree) Butler, a budding journalist, finds her interview subject dead, she is immediately a suspect. But a chance reunion with college friend, Gen Delacourt, convinces Bree maybe this unfortunate incident is actually her chance to revive her dream of becoming an investigative journalist. Bree jumps in with both feet.Greene creates a rich cast of San Francisco characters including a rich CEO, a gay next door neighbor confidante and a pair of hunky cops. She takes us all on a wild, richly plotted chase through familiar SF environs and into the musty world of mushrooms.She takes her time unfolding the plot and teasing out the details. I especially admired the care that Greene put into her descriptions and scenes.Well-done
