Nikki Hunter
is a P.I. with most of her cases being cheating husbands and bad employees. But
this time she has something different: a murder case.
Nikki is
very thorough and has keen observational skills. She finds no reason why a rich
college student could’ve been murdered. After all, the kid read romance novels,
slept with Shrek dolls, and watched Disney movies. On the other hand, she also
got automatic deposits from a nudie bar. So the girl was a part-time stripper,
too.
It takes a
thief to catch a thief. Thanks to Nikki’s past life of transgressions and
misdemeanors, she’s able to use her thievery skills to hunt the bad guys and
bring justice to order. Her compulsion to fix the world makes her good at what
she does. I thought she was a pretty cool chick.
I thought
this started off pretty enjoyable because you just fall into this mysterious
case, but, most of the time, Nikki got WAY TOO descriptive, especially about
her dumb boats. And because of this, it was much too slow for me. Must she
describe every little thing? At 25% of the book, this started to REALLY bug me
how she would describe EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. I think she even describes the
same people. If I have to hear one more time about how so-and-so had strawberry
blonde hair, blue eyes, and a vanilla complexion, I’m going to scream.
The mystery
could’ve been good if it hadn’t choked me with all the describing. If this is
the rest of the series will be, I think this will be the only book I read then.
My rating: 3 stars
