Title: A Killer Read
Review: Others here have detailed the plot line of this most entertaining book. I had not read this author before receiving an unsolicited ARE (Advanced Reader Edition) from the publisher with an invitation to read it and review it. I was aware of her and wondered if her works were like Janet Evanovitch with her Stephanie Plum novels, which are light and frothy chick detective novels. Scottoline, in my opinion, delivers a more hefty effort. The story is interesting, the mystery takes some time to unravel, the characters are well drawn and when the plot turns dangerous it gets a bit compelling as well. Add to that the information contained in the book about the Italian American internment camps and you have a bit of a learning experience also. A pretty interesting mix.
