For those crafty dear readers who regularly skip the notes, here is the blurb for the new Adriana Hofstetter mystery:
“This sixth and arguably most suspenseful entry in the Adriana Hofstetter series begins with the sweetly iconoclastic but dogged teenage sleuth drugged and shivering in a cold, dark basement, awaiting the arrival of a self-proclaimed psychopath who's 'committed two cold-blooded murders' and plans to make her victim number three. If her perilous situation doesn't compel you to spend the next several hours finding out how she wound up in such a mess . . . and, more important, how she plans to get out of it, your affection for splendidly crafted, witty whodunits is considerably less than mine. Adding to the entertainment, the series' familiar supporting characters – Adriana's loving "mommy" Margaret, her best friend Billy and the irascible Detective Ramirez - are prominently featured, the streets, stories and restaurants of Los Angeles are highlighted and author Kimmel has even included a few imaginative recipes from Margaret's kitchen.”
