Review: Witty and surprisingly heartfelt

Jem and Nick. Former bad boy and evolving cop.  Nothing new under the sun in this sly little novel about murder and romance - except that Lou Harper knows her way around characters and witty banter like few other writers today. We learn to respect and admire Jem at the same time he learns to understand and sympathize with Nick. Forgiveness and trust; humor and tenderness.  There is nothing earth-shaking here, and yet it is elegantly wrought and satisfyingly heartfelt.
