What do you think of when you hear Morrow Bay,
Pismo Beach, and Cal Poly? If you're from California, you think of San Luis
Obispo. If you're a fan of mystery writer Earlene Fowler, author of
Spider Web
, you might think of San Celina, completely recognizable to anyone who has been near San Luis
Obispo as
SLO itself, as the locals refer to this delightful college/agricultural town in central California (in the no-direction's-land between Northern and Southern California, and not to every be confused with the Central Valley).
One again Benni Harper solves an interlocking set of mysteries with her unique emphasis feelings and suspicions in a plot where the sweet and sentimental are more often hiding in the shadows than anything evil, or even slightly impolite or naughty. A fantasy for anyone who believes that people are basically cute and cuddly - rhe we-are-all-kittens-and-puppies-inside school of sociology.
A wonderful story for Cal Poly alumni and readers of zero-body-count mysteries.
