Whilst I love murder mysteries, I'm not interested in senseless descriptions of violence.  This one manages to draw the reader into a murderous situation via a series of incidences that are described in a way that is in large measure indirect and thus leaves out unnecessary gruesome details.  This book is hard to put down because the characters are so enjoyable. The author very cleverly describes just enough of the main ones to feel you know them a little and little enough of the others to make you want more.  The hero is inept enough to make him genuinely lovable and believable.  A great balance. The style is a bit like Janet Evanovich only set in San Diego.  The story contains its share of evil but is dealt with in a way which reassures me that good is in greater supply.  An easy reading style that will keep you entertained til the last page. I thoroughly recommend it.
