pickThis is a nicely paced crime novel paved with a lot of humor; my first read by this author. A famous writer of romance novels is murdered the night she is awarded a tremendous prize in Barcelona. The main suspect, also a finalist, has a strong alibi as the night of the crime he has been robbed by an unusual thief. A team of two fake detectives are hired to find the thief and discover who the real killer is.

I feel like I‘m on borrowed time! Still reading on my deck. We are having 2nd summer here in Buffalo. Temps in the 80s for a couple weeks and the awning is still up! Soaking it in while I can. Rereading this classic so I can continue the series. #stillsummerreading
pickI loved the ending and the beginning, actually. It was a slow book and sometimes I wondered at the direction but it was always intriguing and beautifully written. I was very invested in all the characters and knowing their stories. There were mysteries upon mysteries. The author also took you to dark places, but the innocence of the main character grounded the narrative in hope. It had all the feels. Keep with it when it slows, it‘s worth it.
