Private Eye Solves Mysteries While Struggling with her Own Manic Depression

This is an interesting and very readable mystery. Bo, private eye and the protagonist, has manic depressive illness and several supporting characters struggle with mental illness. Padgett's presentation of mental illness, medication, societal attitudes and treatment are empathic and intelligent. I highly recommend this book along with another of Padgett's books, Turtle Baby. by author of Child of Silence & Strawgirl.

Very interesting book!

This books wraps you in the arms of excitement and suspense because you don't figure out who the killer is until the end. The book just keep you wondering. A complicated story, yet keeps you wanting to read on. Great Book!
