Almost from the beginning, the unusual characters as much as the action propel the first-person story along. A nympho college art professor and her insanely jealous ex-con husband, a filthy rich graffiti-style artist, an art foundation executive with a gambling addiction and assorted low-lifes populate Nancy Holzner’s first mystery novel.
One of my favorite lines: “She was furious. In a comic book, flames would be shooting from her eyes.”
Whether you figure out whodunit may depend on whether you miss a nicely tossed off clue that slipped by me. Quirky characters, sufficient plot twists and funny lines that several times made me chuckle out loud combine to create a satisfying mystery read.
