review 1: Gave up on this halfway through, once the materialism and Republican-libertarianism became totally unbearable. When did Rita Mae Brown become Ayn Rand?Also mildly irksome is the inclusion (quite briefly, and apparently only introduced as an accessory for the protagonist) of a "token" black character. His description in the cast of characters-- "He is also an African American. Garvey's many white friends don't see him as a black man..."-- frankly comes across as outdated and a bit unenlightened. Like someone who takes their cues on race relations from Driving Miss Daisy.
review 2: An odd book. Picked up at a used book sale I thought it may be a cute read with the pets taking centre stage but they actually were more of a stilted add on than needed for the plot. C... moreharacter interaction was off - conversations didn't flow but we're random and oddly I sensed a theme of anti-big government running through this supposedly light novel. The killer is found and all closes dramatically in a bizarre scene and the following typing up of loose ends is unsatisfying. Avoid this one. less
