To really enjoy Rita's Mrs. Murphy mystery series one must first get past the utter nonsense which constitutes both the "Introduction" at the beginning of each novel and the page at each novel's conclusion where "Sneaky Pie" tries to pawn her tie-in merchandise. Then once into the body of the novel itself one has to get past Rita's rather sloppy use of law enforcement terminology and her even sloppier descriptions of law enforcement procedures.Blair Bainbridge is the only three dimensional character in this entire novel and he isn't even mentioned in the "Cast of Characters" (which is odd considering he is one of the regulars). At least with this novel the crime being committed is a white collar crime. These are the only two things in its favor.
