Cynthia Baxter has written a series of light, fun "whodidit?" mysteries. Part-time amateur sleuth and full time vet with a clinic on wheels, Jesse Popper rolls around Long Island caring for pets, chasing murderers, and finding herself in peril. It is refreshing to find that the story development is more important that sex, profanity, and vulgarities, though in this book, Dr. Popper does pay a visit to a dungeon party and observe some of the more esoteric activities of life.

The advantage of reading a series of any books is getting to know and feel comfortable with the cast of characters and the locale. Another plus in this series is that the descriptives of locations, events, characters are all good and not overdone to tedium, as one finds in P.D. James books. For enjoyable, light reading, try Cynthia Baxter's series of Jesse Popper books.
