Leaves me cold . This rates as one of the poorer mysteries I have read in years. It was truly an ordeal to finish, and I am left wondering why I bothered. It has a totally unbelievable plot and inconsistent characters, many of whom are stereotypical creations of little or no interest. I was particularly amused when the detective was told to "make a few inquiries at the transsexual shoe shop, giving the size and style of the shoe from the corpse". In all of LA, I am sure there is just one known "transsexual shoe shop". Please. I suspect Ms. LaPlante has better material, but this is a poor example better left unread. I would give it less than one star, but unfortunately that's not an option
