Review: A Mystery With a Touch of Humor
Rating: 4 out of 5

These books are a fun read.  The main character, Barbara Marr, is certainly a woman who seems to attract trouble.  Somehow dead bodies turn up wherever she goes.  Karen Cantwell's writing combines humorous dialogue, an interesting cast of characters appearing in all four books, and plots interesting enough to keep my attention.  I can't say the main character is believable, but if she were, she would be just another female detective rather than the sarcastic, funny, quirky woman she is.  For anyone looking for  light reading with a touch of humor, this is the perfect set of books in which to lose yourself.
