"A Jane Da Silva mystery set in Seattle and Vancouver Island. In order to obtain money left to herby her uncle, Jane has to take on hopeless cases and solve them. In this case, she is seeking to prove a man convicted of murder didn't commit the crime. The case takes her in search of people connected to the murder when one of them is murdered As Jane searches for another witness, she encounters others also looking for her and results in several close escapes.
This series is on the lighter side as Jane bumbles and brazens her way as she tries to solve the mystery."
"Imagine a cross between Nora Charles and Kinsey Millhone, a female sleuth who walks and talks like a thirty-something Lauren Bacall--and you'll have a pretty good portrait of K.K. Beck's Jane da Silva, a former lounge singer who has been the chief (and only) investigator for Seattle's Foundation for Righting Wrongs. Can collect on her uncle's vast inheritance only when she solves worthwhile "hopeless cases." She's a lady who values her independence, yearns for a healthy bank balance, and appreciates a good wine, a Cole Porter tune, a great clothing sale....and a fine looking man." from the flyleaf
As with all 4 of the Jane da Silva books, I appreciate the Seattle setting, the forays into other nearby regions, her comedic endeavors to satisfy the terms of the uncle's will, her bungling into a clever solution, and just about everything else about these light, humorous mysteries. Very satisfying short reads."
