Lillian Byrd's battered Caprice is convulsing through the last of its death throes; her pet rabbit, Todd, ails; and as usual she's single-and flat broke.

Customer Reviews

When's the next one?

Just finished this one last night, thinking there would be another after it, but alas, not yet. Guess I'll just have to get The Actress when it hits the bookshelves this spring. The Lillian Byrd mysteries are great bedtime reading... if you don't have to get up early the next morning. Had to finish this one, or I wouldn't have been able to sleep. Great plotline, I love Todd the story really moves along. I love reading about places in Detroit where I've been or go, keeps it interesting for sure. Keep 'em coming!

amazing!

Between the slight humor, the gripping suspense, and the touching relationships that bring these characters to life, I could not put this book down. It is another perfect addition to the Lillian Byrd series. I am filled with anticapation for the next great adventure!

wonderful! wonderful!

Sims's characters leap off the page, grab you by the scruff of your neck, and hold on until they're through with you. Once again, another great Lillian Byrd mystery! Keep 'em coming, Ms. Sims!

Lillian Byrd, Crime Solver

Lillian would approve that title, just as she would like to be like her hero Calico Jones, but Lillian is grounded in reality, at least sometimes. And if you have to be grounded, then reality is the better place to be stuck, right? This series is delightful and original. Not many freelance crime solvers have pet rabbits who accompany them on many of their adventures. It is also very well written: an interview with the suspect's sister is both hilarious and touching. Lillian digs deeper, goes farther, risks more than before. But then, she is starting from a different place, a little lower down on the scale, a little closer to real desperation. Lillian may come out of this one a little harder than she was before. Elizabeth Sims owes us at least one more Lillian Byrd mystery, after what happens to Lillian in this one. You just have to read it.
