Review: Fun read - good, but not great

Roxi, the protagonist in this whodunit, succeeds in getting herself into the middle of everything. With her husband in tow, she manages to find a murdered prostitute by (almost) accident and then involve herself deliberately when it appears that her next door neighbor and family friend may be connected, despite dire warnings by her homicide detective son.Despite the appearance of several unusual characters (the demoted navy man, the pumpkin carver, the voodoo doll) the plot is relatively straightforward and enjoyable, though just a tad fluffy. It is a fast and non-exerting read.
