I read this for my local bookseller's mystery bookclub and enjoyed it. I'm sure I missed a lot as I've never read a Kinky F book before and didn't have any understanding of the characters, especially Kinky. I consider this a "guy's" author as references to taking a dump, casual sex, and genitalia were present throughout. I liked when Kinky started thinking because that is when the book is best: being Jewish, living in New York, missing his cat, and just plain anything that comes to mind is a fun read. The mystery/PI aspect of the books is nonexistent. If that is what you are after.....this isn't that book.
