Oct 11, Una Tiers rated it it was ok. While the book had an intriguing start, few characters were likable by the middle. Weak plot lines, like someone sneaking up and peering through a window were a disappointment. I started this book months ago and set it aside. The start pulled me back to finish. Mar 26, Darcia Helle rated it liked it Shelves: This is a good PI mystery with a strong female lead.

I appreciate that Nikki doesn't turn to mush around good looking men, doesn't weep and whine over her lack of a love interest, and doesn't need a man to rescue her. She's strong and independent, but still feminine. We go along with Nikki as she investigates her first homicide, and the author does a great job of showing us how a PI really works.

At the same time, though, the story often gets mired down in these details. For instance, we learn t This is a good PI mystery with a strong female lead. For instance, we learn that Nikki is adept at taking in everything about a person upon meeting. This becomes tedious, as Nikki goes on to list the attire and appearance of every single person she comes in contact with. Once we've established this fact about Nikki, we don't need to go through the list with every person she sees.

The repetition of detail was exacerbated by repeating the very same information. Twice we're told Nikki's best friend Elizabeth's height, weight, hair color, and eye color.

And twice we're told the details of Nikki's work for restaurant owners. We're also given several pages of detail on five dogs living with their owners at the marina where Nikki lives. I love dogs, but I did not need to know each one's breed, owners' names, play habits, likes, and dislikes.

The pacing, because of the volume of minutiae, is slow, particularly through the first half of the book. That being said, the plot is intriguing and I enjoyed going along with Nikki as she investigated. I thought the ending was a little too convenient. The conversation didn't feel realistic to me, particularly given the situation and setting. The whodunit aspect is handled well. Nicki is investigating a murder, but we aren't given a lot of gruesome detail and we're not weighed down with misery.

While this isn't quite a cozy mystery, the story does have that light, quirky feel. Oct 16, Krystyna rated it it was amazing. Close to home A great start to a new series.

There is a bit of romance but it's not the main part. There was almost too much detail given about her life and surroundings but it didn't put me off the book.

Sopkin delivered a well plotted and paced mystery, full of red herrings, fully drawn characters, lots of action, excellent proofing well, I did find one error and editing.

Oct 03, Sandie rated it liked it Shelves: Asked by the mother of one of the victims to investigate the death of her daughter Laura, Nikki discovers the victim was not only about to inherit a few million dollars, she also worked as a stripper.

The protagonist is a likeable character, who slowly but surely collects and organizes her clues that leads to the murderer's mistake and ultimately his apprehension.

Waiting for Nancy Skopin's next novel. Dec 03, Diane Burton rated it it was amazing. PI Nikki Hunter is hired by the mother of a murdered girl to find the killer. That sets Nikki on a dangerous journey. Some people she questions are very helpful; some, not so much. Good twists and enough red herrings to throw the reader off track. Nasty surprises and a pleasant one--Homicide Detective Bill Anderson.

A hint of something between him and Nikki. I hope it develops into something special. Loved her sidekick Elizabeth. That girl is willing to Excellent mystery.

Murder on the Menu

That girl is willing to do anything to help Nikki. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Jul 24, Ellen White rated it really liked it. New author for me, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good feminine PI, she lets you in on who she is, what she likes and does not like, then needing a shower.

Will she solve, will there be more with the detective. It was even interesting about her working and critiquing the help at the restaurant. Good plot, and liked the strong female lead Will look for more by the author. Oct 10, Laura Lewis rated it really liked it. Very good Interesting and well written. The story moves forward at a good pace. Good characters and challenging mystery. My only dislike is the involved side stories of some of the characters. Unnecessary and aa bit boring.
