Well, it's no surprise that this novel is about a very touchy subject. This is not a cozy mystery, not in the slightest.
Dr Alex Delaware: attractive, genius, smart, __ you can fill in the blank with any number of inspiring characteristics. He's a recently retired psychologist at the young age of early 30-something. He's also not hurting financially.
He has a perky, cute, tiny, wonderfully devoted artist girlfriend. He has a cop friend who gets him involved in a case that doesn't end up quite where I thought it would go.
The mystery is good, everything comes full-circle and I love that in a book. Something mentioned on page 3 will get resolved before the end, trust me. I did not really like Alex, I wouldn't hang out with this guy. But, I probably wouldn't hang out with Stephanie Plum either.
This book is ok. It's between and 2 and a 3, for now I'll stick with 3.
