San Francisco is the most expensive real estate market in the US and purchasing there can be really crazy.  The author uses the City by the Bay as the backdrop for a well written murder mystery centered around the real estate industry.  Someone is killing off folks in the real estate world and our protagonist must live to solve the mystery.  I belly laughed more than a few times at the send up of the real estate market and the lending market in this one.  I lived in San Francisco for sixteen years and share the author's enthusiasm of place, the architecture and the neighbourhoods. I've been on foot through many of the locales he describes and that made this an especially fun read for me.  I've always enjoyed a good murder mystery and this one was top drawer, keeping me guessing until the moment of the reveal.Since the story is set in San Francisco, it is fitting that some of the secondary characters are gay and bisexual. There is no super graphic sex but this one is a bit spicier than most murder mysteries so if you are a prude don't say you haven't been warned. This one is a two on a scale of one to five in the spice department, leaving most of the bedroom action to the imagination but definitely a part of the plot line.  Since I have a vivid imagination, I filled in the blanks! LOL.If you enjoy a good laugh and a well spun mystery, this one is for you!  Thank you to the author and Amazon for the free download. I'd have happily paid full price for this well crafted tale.
