Review: Great Quirky Characters
Rating: 5 out of 5

Writing distinct yet memorable characters can sometimes feel cliché, but Burke successfully managed to make each character in Queenie Baby their own quirky `self.' Add a breezy style of writing and laugh-out-loud situations (I love the way this author's mind works!) and it gets even better.Add a little romantic angst with more than one guy (okay, maybe it was a tad past `romance' and into `lust'), a little mystery and a `bad guy' and it's even more fun.I enjoyed it more than Stephanie Plum (which, after three books, I got tired of, so I hope Burke doesn't drag this out too much and ruin it). But then again, I'm an author and musician myself and could relate to crazy personalities (I think I know some of those people!!) AND to Diana's need to write songs.There wasn't a typical resolution to the `mystery' part of the story, which can sometimes irritate me (I'm not a fan of series that end a book right in the middle of a story). But it had enough `closure' (in the relationship area) that I didn't feel too bad about it ending... while still leaving room for the next book in the series.
