From the moment that I read the table of contents, I had a feeling that this was going to be a very good book. It did not disappoint. From the initial murder, I was brought on a veritable avalanche of twists and turns, until the all the mysteries were solved in the last chapters. This really is a book you will enjoy reading, not just for the excellent storyline, but also because the characters are so well drawn, that you will feel you are reading about people you have known all your life.One of the greatest charms of this novel is the almost love hate relationship that exists between Roosevelt (the main character) and his guardian angel. It adds an engaging extra level to the tale.I cannot recommend this novel too highly. If you want a murder mystery/comedy of modern manners, this is definitely a great example of the genre.This book was gifted to me in exchange for an honest review.
