Description

She doesn't jog, she doesn't know karate, and she doesn't pass a bakery without a slight detour. She's plus-sized detective Desiree Shapiro returning in one of her classic mysteries-out of print for three years-that her legion of fans won't want to pass up.

Very cute again. Sometimes it dragged on a few places and I don't get her relationship with Tim who is mainly a jerk, but I love Desiree and her investigating. She has a natural self-awareness about her that makes her more "real". The meddling in her niece's love life was cute. It feels slightly unresolved with the villain for some reason, but the mystery was complicated, tragic, and interesting.
