This was passable, but I think Swanson's mysteries are just not quite up to par. I gave her another try because I like my fluff reading to be series; I get to become familiar with the characters and coming back to them time and again feels like watching a favorite tv show. It's a guilty but comfortable pleasure, like an old faded pair of sweatpants.
But from now on I'll stick to old friends like Stephanie Plum and Kinsey Millhone. Evanovich and Grafton's series' are just plain better written than these.
