DIVE INTO THIS BOOK!

Jeri Howard, private investigator is in Monterey for a restful vacation (or so she hopes)! But she immediately finds herself in the middle of several mysteries -- mutilated pelicans, mysterious accidents at a trendy restaurant and her own cousin accused of murder! This book keeps you interested and moves along at a good pace. Having visited the Monterey/Carmel area, I enjoyed the familiarity of sites mentioned. I am a new reader of female p.i stories but highly recommend this book to others who enjoy this type mystery. I'm glad there are several more Jeri Howard mysteries waiting to be read!!

especially fun if you know California's Central Coast

As a former resident of Monterey County, I enjoyed the references to familiar venues. The main character and her relationships to family (mother, cousins, aunts and uncles) and friends (and friends' pets!)are also of interest. The various plot aspects get a little choppy (clearing her cousin of murder charges while investigating sabotage at her mother's restaurant while supposedly on vacation from her private investigator job in Oakland) but the book kept me involved. This could be a good choice for beach reading, especially in California.
