Enjoyable read.  Had a vintage feel to it even though it was set in current times.  Dix Dodd had a Mike Hammer sensibility to her.Set outside Toronto PI Dix Dodd is setup for a murder.  While the supporting characters were predictable as was the story line it still made an enjoyable, entertaining read.  A collaboration of two authors Norah Wilson and Heather Doherty, Dix is a likeable but flawed heroine.The story moves well and there are touches of both humor and pathos that blend well with the mystery presented.  I grew up reading the PI stories of the sixties and seventies.  This was a nice surprise to find a book that reminded me of those stories while still presenting a modern story.I will be following Dix's adventures.
