Review: Quirky characters, funny dialogue, interesting and unique plot

Being a bit of an IT nerd myself, I couldn’t help but smile at a cast of characters that includes a blogger and a girl that *might* read sci-fi romances.  The male lead has an interesting past that leads to his current emotionally wounded state.  His present occupation is just as distinctive, but much more sedate, until runaway pigs, midnight prowlers, and a nosy blogger intrude on his solitude.  Lindsay Buroker has a gift for dialogue, and I appreciated the wry observations, clever banter, and snarky internal monologues.  I had to suspend disbelief for part of the action, but I’ve come to accept that mystery novels would not be very interesting if all the characters did what I would do and let the police handle it.  Besides, what fun is a book without explosions?  Overall, this was a quick, fun, enjoyable read.
