The murder mystery is resolved in a flurry of action but not with much satisfaction. Maybe a few too many weird nicknames running around here. Many colourful characters add to the story - some regulars such as Coop and Eddy, others just for the story like Taffy and Peaches. But that part of the storyline is dropped like a hot potato and it leaves me confused - why was the victim there? How would the murderer know he was there? The set-up to the story reads like a missed opportunity - Shay and JT are at a Ren Faire where Shay stumbles upon the body of a man in the portapotty. It took me several chapters of reading to figure out more about Shay than her gender and her stress-borne tendency to revert to messiness without JT, her partner who's falsely accused of the murder in question. This mystery had a lot of fun moments bouncing around in semi-disconnection from the murder investigation and the main character, Shay.
