      Kate Brannigan, smart funny and just a little too much larger than life PI in a tale of sex drugs and rock n roll that didnt really work for me.
      No regrets, this the strength of Val McD in her varied short series.
      Back to Karen Pirie #6 and #7!

      A really enjoyable mystery and I liked the character of Kate Brannigan.
