edit data

Mickey Hoffman was born in Chicago, and attended public schools where she acquired the strong suspicion that some of her teachers might be human. She wasn't able to prove this fanciful thinking until much later, when she became a high school teacher herself.

Before landing in the halls of academia, she worked in a variety of jobs, including computer typesetting and wholesale frozen fish sales.

The author is also a printmaker and painter. She resides on the West Coast with her long suffering mate, eight marine aquariums and a very large cat.

Mickey is the author of School of Lies, the first Kendra Desola mystery, and Deadly Traffic book two in the series.

First half very boring. Second half had more momentum but just not that interesting. What would have been nice (spoiler alert) would be to have explained why the widow presented herself the way she did. Also could have had a more likeable main character ...more
