Georgie starts out typical of female characters of the genre. She is self-absorbed and impatient. She has an almost unnaturally short temper. Georgie figuratively stomps her feet and is irrationally hostile with James but once we settle into the story, the spark between them turns into something more interesting and believable. Both are carrying world-trip kind of baggage and Georgia soon shows us within the story-line that she knows which of James buttons to push. In one scene the pair is interrogating the client with extreme good cop/bad cop which is hilariously well-connected. Don't expect Lindley to show her hand in "Business as Usual." Lindley brilliantly builds excitement around the Georgie character to carry the reader further into the series."Business as Usual" is a light and fun read. There's blood, gore and violence but Georgie and company are busy people and as the reader is carried through Georgie's life the harsher elements seem less so. I will definitely be picking up the next novel in the Georgie Connelly series and recommend this novel for any of my readers that enjoy mysteries usually thought of as "cozy." Georgie is tenacious and strong with a fabulous support system and is simply good fun to read.
