Selma Eichler

I don't think I will read more of the series -- the language may be charming to folks who are fond of New York, but I found it tedious, overdone and sloppy. The plot meandered about -- the most interesting piece for me was the insistence on recording meetings and the time spent on them that indeed finally breaks the case.

Desiree Shapirois a PI who is hired to help prove a grocery delivery boy didn't murder an old woman in her niece Ellen's apartment building. A week later another tenant of the building is murdered. The solution of the murder was pretty obvious and the end of the book dragged.

A very enjoyable read.

This was a quick and easy summer read. I've read other(s) in this series, so it was nice to see where it all began.
