A good mystery that's also a good work of fiction regardless of who dun it

Very witty, with a lot to say about our times, especially the nuttier aspects of our times. New Age types will recognize themselves which may or may not please them. The method of death in this is both believable and unbelievable depending on how you define those terms. The characters are richly developed, and there's such a fine sense of the place (around Calgary) that the surroundings are almost a character in themselves.

Excellent!

What a fun read! The mystery is well written and the humour and wit is constant throughout the whole book. There's no shortage of quirky characters, and the ending makes sense and is very satisfying. I loved the interaction between characters. There are some books with have main characters that you'd love to know in real life - this is one of those books. This is the second book in the Phoebe Fairfax series (after Healthy, Wealthy & Dead) and I hope there will be many more.

One of the funniest books I have read in a long time!!

The story was terrific as well!! Phoebe Fairfax is a camera woman for a local TV show - and they go to film a psychics' fair. When the live in boyfriend of a friend of the reporter - keels over (while trying to sell one of the funniest machines I have EVER heard of) - the trouble starts. Of course they have to solve the mystery for the reporter's friend, and all the while the humor is awesome! People were looking at me strangely when I started laughing out loud on the bus going to work!!!! Read it - you'll enjoy it!!
