Spaulding and Darien Mystery #1
Button,Button
Who's got the button?
It's an old fashioned game of hide and seek. Only, Jenny Spaulding doesn't know who's hiding or what she's looking for. What she does know is the loser end up dead.
The police say Jenny's journalist father committed suicide. Jenny suspects he was murdered before he could publish a damning expose.
And lawyer Peter Darien's sure that Gareth Spauling was on to something that would shock even laid back California. Smooth-talking, fast-living Peter isn't exactly Jenny's style, but he's a good man to have in a pinch.
And this is one game that shouldn't be played alone.

Sadly, there were not enough living characters to make the reader wonder who killed Jenny's father.
In addition, the bane of outdated information reared its head continually. Normally, I can forgive the author when I know I am reading an older CR (something from the 1980s or 1990s), but in Button, Button I found the mention of movies, songs and what-not once too often.
Lastly, what was going on with Peter and Jenny in the last part of the story? I knew this was the first of 4 books in the series, but I found myself thinking they were an odd couple and I had no urge to see what was in store for them in the future.
