Book Reviews of Fifty-to-One (Hard Case Crime, Bk. 50)
Book Review: A beautiful blending of comedy and mystery
Summary: 5 Stars
Not normally my genre of choice, I was pleasantly surprised in reading this mystery. There are quite a few comments that will discuss the author's ability to expertly tie in all the themes from the other 49 novels. The story has lots of twists and turns. I actually think the author - a male - did an amazing job at creating a very believable, spunky, incredibly likable female heroine.
However, what makes this really different is that the book itself actually succeeds as a comedy. There is a certain wit that charms the reader and has him smiling and intrigued throughout this piece. It is an easy read without being brainless, which is really not that easy to pull off. For someone who normally is not thrilled about mysteries, this one is quite digestible.
If you're considering this book, go ahead and go for it. You get a mystery and comedy rolled into one.
