Review of 'Claire DeWitt and the Bohemian highway' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Hilarious, heartbreaking, and unlike any detective novel I've read before. Well, except Claire DeWitt's previous outing, of course.

When Paul Casablancas, Claire DeWitt's musician ex-boyfriend, is found dead in his Mission District home, the police are convinced it's a simple robbery. But Claire knows nothing is ever simple. With the help of her new assistant, Claude, Claire follows the clues, finding hints to Paul's fate in her other cases -- especially that of a missing girl in the gritty 1980s East Village and a modern-day miniature horse theft in Marin.
Hilarious, heartbreaking, and unlike any detective novel I've read before. Well, except Claire DeWitt's previous outing, of course.
