Cute Mystery with Some Local Color

I bought this book a while back and was happy to come across it. The mystery is light, nothing too scary or deadly, but it is entertaining. I am from the Saratoga Springs area, so it was nice to read about some references to the city and the surrounding areas in the capital region. Overall It's a fun book. I have yet to read the other mysteries in the series but I have a feeling I will enjoy them.

I thoroghly enjoyed it;consumed it in a stretch!

The latest offering is as consuming as the previous entries. Using Victor(Vic) is always welcome as a narrative. Having visited Saratoga on several occasions adds to the excitement: I can envision Charlie, Vic, Eddie and Steel and Clover, tearing up the streets!

I'm sitting on the edge of the seat of the guy next to me!

You are only 1 click away from ordering the latest offering from Stephen Dobyns. Charlie and Victor are at their usual best; a page turner that I read in two sittings; a must for those who've read the previous "Saratoga" series!

Another caper, Another winner

Being a Saratoga resident, I must say Mr. Dobyns continues to capture the spirit of this upstate New York City. He also weaves a wonderful story filled with colorful, baffling, irritating, endearing and just plain fun characters. Victor (call me Vic) narrates with a zest for not only storytelling, but a sharp cynicism that sparkles. A great job. Can't wait til the next!
