    • 5/5
      Fun to read again after a long absence. Ford's writing is fun, witty and has great story lines. I love this dialog between our Hero Leo Waterman and a stuffy Library supervisor...could be anyone supervisor. Plus murder and the return of 'the boys'...'Donna Franchini ws waiting outshide theelevator as the door slid open. As promised, she was holding a manila file folder. She was a tall woman, nearly my height, in a crisp white blouse and ankle-lenth denim jumper and a pair of sturdy black shoes the size of cinder blocks. She was impatiently tapping her right foot. Her long gray hair was twisted on top of her head in some sort of tight braid. As she looked me over throught a pari of oval glasses, her expression suggested acurte gastrointestinal distress. Without either fanfare or introduction, she said, 'follow me, ' turned on her rubber heel, and started down the long hall. I stood still.

      The Leo Waterman series from this author were all excellent, enjoyable stories!
