All the characters are charmingly kooky and fun...We will be looking for more of Jake O'Hara." - TheMysteryReader.com "[Wald] writes with a light touch." - New York Daily News "The author keeps the plot airy and the characters outlandish." - South Florida Sun-Sentinel Jake O'Hara and her colleagues are looking forward to a complimentary weekend in Manhattan's swanky Plaza Hotel, the venue for the Greater New York Crime Writers' Conference.
