Funny Book

Funny book.
I enjoyed the story line and the fact that it was relatively clean. No curse words and inoffensive sex. James the main character was believable as the anti hero. I laughed out loud at some of his antics..

very enjoying. Love the characters, they were eccentric enough to be real.

Couldn't finish it. Maybe I'm too picky... Trite, predictable, just not compelling.

Detective School 101

This book had me laughing all the way through. Also kept me guessing all the way. Was a good mystery with a cast of zany characters. Loved it.

okay

This story was long and boring at times. Played more like a Keystone Cops plot. At the end,it got better.

Fun read with a good ending. However! Just an FYI, Bea Arthur played Dorothy on Golden Girls - not Blanche. It’s at the very end of the book but how did no one catch that?!

This book needed serious editing . The mystery element lost in so much detail! Are there no more editors at publishing firms anymore?🥸
