Murder...Suicide...Whatever..., by Gwen Freeman (trade, $14.95)

This is a book put out by a small company, Capital Crime Press, and it flew under the radar until a customer pointed it out to me.

I must say I found it quite entertaining. Not as rambunctious as Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series but with enough of Stephanie's sassiness to give it a "if you like..." recommendation. There is a clever resolution, a half-brother heroine Fifi Cutter should be awarded sainthood for tolerating, and teasing hints about Fifi's dysfunctional family tossed in periodically to spice the mix.
