A Splendid Little Murder is a fast read.  I need to point out that I received an advance copy of this book for review.  I usually like a little more detail in the mystery books I read; but even though it is a short book, I found myself staying up late to get to the end.  What begins as a murder of a congressional aide quickly becomes more complicated with possible drug trafficing, fish and game preservation, and congressional wheeling and dealing.  Both the female and male protagonists are strong and funny.  At times, some steps seem to have been skipped in the story but as I said, I am prone to long, detailed books. I hope to read more from this author.
