3.5 stars rounded up to 4.I loved the snappy writing style of this author along with her sense of humour. I don't think there was a single unnecessary word in the entire book. I also adored the character of Mary Cooper and there was a clear sense of setting. For these reasons I'm going to try another book by this author, because it was a fun read.The plot was ok. The book opens with the murder of Mary's uncle, an ageing stand up comedian. Where the book fell down for me was, I started top lose count but I think 11 elderly stand up comedians were killed in the making of this book. Despite them being old friends the only reaction from the police was to threaten to revoke Mary's PI license if she turned up at any more murder scenes. Dare I say it was an "over kill?"
