First line/s: "The prospect sat in the hot tub, fat and doughy."
My comments: First in the series, and this's so exciting because I absolutely loved the story. I love the way the author kept giving you, the reader, little bits of information that start you on the right path slowly, but also withheld a few things that kept the mystery going perfectly. Characters were really well drawn, I loved Mort and I loved Lydia. Their relationship was genuine and perfect. I so look forward to upcoming books and hope that they are both included jointly, keeping their relationship intact. High five!
