As a cozy mystery, to me, this has everything I like in a story. The mystery itself is good, Our 2 main characters are believable, and it kept my interest from page one to the end.The story is well written, flows smoothly, and it will keep you guessing. The characters are real life and you can relate to them.Jake is an ex-cop and tired of the rat race. An old friend calls with an exciting offer. Seems the professor's wife was found dead in the backyard of their Berkley home. He wants to pay Jake $10,000.00 plus expenses to find who the murderer is.  The police have found the usual reasons, jealousy, dirty politics, and an estate worth killer her for. Problem is that the cops are looking to the professor for the crime. The professor wants someone who will work on his behalf. With his good friend Rossie and her trusty two by four. Samson and Rosie work to solve the murder.I do recommend this story very much. I would say the ages would be 16 on up.
