Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Katz is wise and witty and honestly touching....It is Kit's personal involvement with his investigation of the nursing home racket that really turns the emotional screws on this story."
--The New York Times Book Review

"Jon Katz has moved the detective novel to the suburbs....The mysteries he deals with are the mysteries of family life."
--National Public Radio

"Focuses with commendable tenderness on the issue of the aging parents of the boom generation...Kit comes across as Alan Alda with a P.I.'s license in a story that is sweet rather than slick."
--Rocky Mountain News

Warshawski have a new suburb--the Rochambeau, New Jersey, of Kit Deleeuw....Detective Deleeuw drives the shaded avenues of this tiny town in a Volvo, and he runs down leads after picking up the kids from their music lessons. Deleeuw is a combination of Sam Spade and Mr. Mom."
--National Public Radio

"Entertaining...Katz's keen anthropological observations...are delivered with...wit and affection."
