silly, but addicting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I enjoy the Desiree books. They could not be confused with great literature, but the character is endearing. The fact that every single detail of her day is described allows the reader to feel a closeness that makes this series of books fun to follow. Also everybody loves to see a mystery solved.
If you need a heroine, Desiree's for you!

I've been a faithful reader of Ms. Eichler's books since their inception and this is one of the best. I love Desiree's sense of humor, her acceptance of self (she's not sylph-like and doesn't mind). She's an everywoman, who knows what's important: shopping, Hagen Daas(sic), oh yeah, and catching the bad guy/girl. At least now I know when her next book's coming out - February. HURRY UP, FEBRUARY!
Witty, funny, and enjoyable!

This is my first book of the Desiree Shapiro series, and now my mission is to find all the others. Desiree is exactly what I look for in a female private eye - funny, self-deprecating and really on the ball. This is a delightful, quick read.
Have enjoyed all of her books

Superb Shapiro will not leave any reader feeling singed

Murder, double dealing, and danger does not seem a likely scenario for the female heroine to crack jokes, but in the case of Desiree Shapiro peril and humor fit well together. This demonstrates the level of talent that Selma Eichler has at her disposal because combining jocularity with murder is a dangerous game. MURDER CAN SINGE YOUR OLD FLAME is a delightful mystery, highlighted by a star who needs to succeed to show up her former flame. The Shapiro mysteries have a new winning entry.Harriet Klausner
