solid mystery, I love andy carpenter ( )

The characters are distinct and believable. The story itself is a bit predictable and you certainly won't be on the edge of your seat wondering whodunnit - but the characters are well-written and the story is well-paced, making it very enjoyable to follow.

There are some very funny "one-liners" throughout the story, and much of the time they are unexpected which makes for a very pleasant surprise. If the story was just a smidge less predictable it'd have been even better. I will, however, be reading more Andy Carpenter stories, for sure. ( )
