" Marcia Muller pioneered the contemporary female private investigator novel with the first Sharon McCone mystery, Edwin of the Iron Shoes, in 1977 according to the introduction. Sharon McCone reminds me a lot of Kinsey Milhone, Sue Grafton's famous alphabet sleuth. I'm grateful to Marcia Muller for opening the door for all of today's great female detectives. This book was a fun, quick read for a long Wisconsin winter evening. "
