This is a fairly short book, it clocks in at under 200 pages, but it feels much longer than it is. Frank Mango is a private detective and not the best one, or a likable one at that. He most likely fits the budget of the young actress that pays him to find her missing sister. Oh goodness, this is another of those stories with multiple POV's and honestly it really shouldn't have had some of the views that it did. Mostly because in one of these they give the story away BEFORE it's intended. This mystery is ok, it's not the best but it is entertaining. The characters are pretty flat and there aren't really any likable ones in the whole of the book.  I don't think that the writing is bad because the author does entertain, it's just this set of characters are just not appealing and there is so much going on in such a short story that you just don't buy what's going on. Too me nothing fits together in a believable way, but again the writing itself was good the story (pretending that the characters were better and the circumstances were more believable) was alright as well. I think overall it was just a mediocre PI book.
