This is a really good short mystery. Sort of a modern soft hard boiled detective mystery. The characters are well developed and there is a lot of time spent on the actual investigation (it is surprising in some mysteries how little time is actually spent on detecting). But there is even a little time for romance. I was impressed.

Private Investigator Alex Davenport is accustomed to strange and unusual cases. But when he is asked to investigate a stolen dog actor, a missing polygamist and a potential poisoning all in one week, his life takes a turn for the bizarre. A light-hearted novella set in San Diego, The Missing Polygamist is fast-paced with nifty dialogue and a satisfying resolution.
