Mo (short for Imogene) is PI in Savannah, GA. And her boss won't let her swear. So she has cleaned up her language by substituting food items. Shitake Happens is a collection of cases Mo has worked on. There's the insurance fraud case that turns into a murder investigation. The sexy honey trap. And the ever-helpful Clarence (rolls eyes). I love Mo and the troubles she finds herself in and the twists and turns the plots take. This is the prequel to Mason's full-length mystery, IN DEEP SHITAKE, which I'm now anxious to read. And although this is a short book, the stories each provided me with a full, satisfying story.As a bonus, there's a quirky tale about a seagull and his pink lady friend. I'm falling in love with Patricia Mason's (AKA P.R. Mason) quirky writing style. Her books are fast-paced and breezy--perfect for a break from the pressures of the real world. I recommend SHITAKE HAPPENS for readers looking for a collection of short, lighthearted mysteries.
