Loved this book -- a great, fun read, written by a pro so talented that I cannot believe this could possibly be her first book.

It's clever; it's written spectacularly well; the characters are vivid and fun; the framing device -- being grilled by a detective who wants to know the story -- works very well; and the solution to the mystery (like Evanovich, Lutz's mystery almost gets lost in the fun of the multiple other plots involving the character's mother and father, her little sister, and ex-boyfriends no. 8, 9, and 10) -- the punchline to the mystery, I say, it really satisfying and dramatic.

I need to send a note to Ms. Lutz explaining to her that she must start cranking out these delights, one a year, for the rest of her life, quick quick, let's go, I'm waiting here! just like her sisters-in-crime because she now has an avid, delighted, impatient, hungry audience!

Again, I can't believe this polished, sophisticated (on every level) novel is her first.
