This was a fair to a not so good book. A quick read. There is a gnarly, but pretty detective, Jessie Drake, exploring her Jewish roots, that she just found out about, since her grandma changed her name to avoid Auschwitz. Someone is threatening her former best friend Renee Altman, who is an on the air psychologist with the “don’t be a baby, get it together” message. It was okay. The Judaism info was interesting, and I liked Drake. But most people were crazy except her, and it was a mystery, we didn’t quite know who did for awhile. Plane ride fodder.

Not quite as good as her Molly Blume series, but still a well-done mystery that's better than average.
