review 1: Although in the end I mostly enjoyed this read, as usual I found believability issues with this book. I never want- or really believe- that Jane is as clueless as she is. It's hard for me to imagine, for instance, that she would marry someone she didn't love to get money. I would think as the sleuth that she is that she would read people better, but she doesn't...not Chess and not her lovers/ex-lovers/potential lovers. As a Twin Citian, I do like that her book has familiar places.
review 2: I normally like the Jane Lawless books, but this one spent way too much time away from Jane and her friends. Instead, more than half was about other characters I could care less about.We find out that years ago, Jane married a gay man so he could get his inheritance. Out ... moreof that deal, she got enough money to start her business. She was supposed to get a quicky divorce, but finds out now that the divorce was phony and she's still married to the man. Turns out he's not only not gay, but also a crook selling antiquities. People want them back and they don't care who they hurt to get them. Bad things happen.This book would've been 100 percent better if it had stayed focused on Jane and her reactions rather than wandering all over the place. less
