Too Darn Hot

By: Sandra Scoppettone

Narrated by: Laura Hicks

Awash in tears, salesgirl Claire Turner arrives at the Times Square office of Private Investigator Faye Quick and begs Faye to find her missing boyfriend, Army Private Charlie Ladd, who has been AWOL for three days. Faye takes the case, which leads her to Charlie's room at the Hotel Commodore - where she finds an unknown man naked, dead, and stuffed inside a wardrobe.

Who is the John Doe, and what connection does he have to the missing Charlie Ladd?

While Faye detects, the mercury rises practically to the boiling point in the city that never sleeps.

Love Faye Quick

Please give us more Faye! I love the whole Manhattan in the 40’s thing. The narrator does an amazing job.

Sorry this is the end

Really good sequel, although it doesn't stand on its own as the backstory in the other title would be a huge help in understanding this one.

I'm not one who guesses mystery resolutions early on, so this one had me surprised at the end. I wish there were more of this series, but the author wrapped up things here so that it was a logical place to stop, or could have been continued had she and the publishers come to an agreement.

Only negative note would be that the theme of anti-Semitism was handled in a rather clunky manner I thought.
