Stanley gets himself involved in yet another bizarre case but this time it is a friend of Alice's...well, at least a woman that car-pools with her. Being the gentleman and good TV-type detective, he is loath to reveal the woman's problem and in taking this stand, is almost arrested for murder. As usual, this is great entertainment to read although there is a bit more vulgar language than I like so I skip through that. :)

Second of the Stanley Hastings mysteries this is a fast-moving and quick reading story with lots of dialogue and interesting characters and the development of Stanley and his wife, Alice and others that continue in the long series--still being written with the release of Caper in 2010. I love this series and will be looking for the books I have missed. Bobbi Myers
