Quirky mayhem! I loved the central character, Roosevelt, an ex-hippy and ex-soldier making a living as a Private Investigator. He was full of interesting contradictions, still trying to "find himself" and the love of a good woman in his 60s. He is cynical yet trusting, jaded yet hopeful, sharp and witty yet a sucker for a pretty face and a hard luck story, hardened and disappointed yet moralistic and loyal. I'd love this guy as a friend. His life is also complicated by a guardian angel who happens to be a 14th century monk who is sexually repressed.Mixed with a fast paced plot, a bucket full of lies and a realistic setting this is a real treat of a read.I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good mystery and I'm looking forward to reading the later books in the series.
