I really love a good murder mystery and this certainly was that. When a famous agent to the stars turns up murdered, and not only murdered but his insides totally cut out, it has a small-time police agency scrambling to find out whodunit. The main characters were really well developed and I did not have a hard time following along with them even with not having read the first five books in this series.

There is an awful lot of detail in this storyline, at times maybe too much. I found that it drug on in parts and sometimes I wondered where it was going. There is also a side story that seems to tie into the previous books that followers of the series would enjoy (I would assume). The victim's ex-wife is quite the character, you gotta love her and her shenanigans. Throughout the whole book, everyone seems to be a suspect right up until the very end. However, I did not like how Jane's boss did not trust Jane's instincts but that she went with them anyway to find the answers and solve the crime.

And I have to say that the dog Toots, a long-haired Dachshund, had my heart from the very beginning! Being a foster for DREAM Dachshunds, and having a long-haired Doxie of our own, Toots can come live with us any day!

Overall it was a good read, a little difficult at times, but if you like lots and lots of details and a good murder mystery you should give this one a try.
