Cute book about a female private investigator seeking to learn who exactly is behind the murder of her uncle, a has-been comedians of vintage Hollywood.  But the more she investigates, the more old-time comics pile up at the morgue, while she is at site of their demise.  Needless to say, this causes a bit of difficulty between herself and the Santa Monica police, amongst which force her former boyfriend and the woman he had been seeing, also his boss.The one-liners in this book are really fun to read; wish stand-up more often could be as good!  And the bantering with the [un]boyfriend and his boss, aka the shark, is alone worth the read.  But the story is clever, and you won't fully anticipate the spectrum of perpetrators behind the multiple murders until explained by the author.This fun book was truly worth greater than 4, but lacked the depth of characters expected from a 5 score.  But certainly was entertaining and fun to read.
