Farmer is a fun and delicious mystery writer. The violence is not 3d graphic and the sex is not x-rated. I especially enjoyed learning about the filming of a television program and the hand dying of wool. Madeline cohorts, Holly and Wes, have very small cameos in this book. BUT--Holly has an earth-shattering encounter; of course, you must read the book to discover the secret. Madeline prepares food that I have never eaten, nor will ever eat; but I do not live in Los Angeles.
