With work a bit slow due to the recession and his friend arrested for murder, Jeremy indulges in a bit of amateur sleuthing in order to uncover the truth and hopefully help to clear his friend of the charges. This murder mystery takes you through a complicated web of overlapping affairs and private investigators hired by this party and that, casting suspicion on a number of characters along the way. It seemed everyone you met in this book was having an affair with someone, which brought about a lot of conflict and intrigue, but I would have preferred a least a few characters in there to be able to demonstrate some self-control and loyalty to their lover. That aside, the mystery was well-crafted and intricately arranged, to unravel slowly and not give too much away too soon. Jeremy's inner dialogue was inane at times, but in a goofy, geeky sort of way that was kind of endearing. This action-packed tale kept me riveted to the end, and I look forward to further stories from this author!
