review 1: I picked this up on a whim, because of the title. I'll be honest, part of the reason it's getting the stars it is is because I wasn't expecting much. Better than anticipated. Great characters, decent (acceptably convoluted, like something from old Hollywood) plot, and enough silliness to keep me happy. There were a couple errors that I feel the author and publisher should have caught before going to press (calling a character by the wrong name more than once in a scene), but they're minimally distracting. I'd recommend this for the mystery fan who appreciates a story that doesn't take itself too seriously. If you like the grim and serious (and realistic) mysteries....mmm...probably gonna wanna skip this one ;).
review 2: I am a sucker for mysteries with cats an... mored dogs. The Chi in this book was not an active character. I felt sorry for the poor thing. This book is a mystery. It is advertised on the cover as being funny. Personally I did not find the story that funny. The characters, members of a paranormal magazine and their targets(a very dysfunctional family in Washington) were in my opinion rather boring. There is an interesting twist on the original Potrait of Dorian Gray, but I could put this book down very easily. I would rate it as a fluffy mystery. Not the worst book I have read, but not the best either. less
