A Trouble of Fools Author: Linda Barnes Published: June 27, 2006 by St. Martin's Minotaur Series Name: Carlotta Carlyle PI series Category: PI series Main Character: Carlotta Carlyle A private investigator named Carlotta? Unusual, perhaps, but Boston P.I. Carlotta Carlyle is every bit as feisty as Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone. If you like Kinsey, you'll enjoy Carlotta. But you kinda have to love anyone who'd list her home phone under her cat's name — Thomas C. (as in Cat) Carlyle, to discourage the kind of crank calls women living alone tend to get. It's the kind of case that has "NO!" written all over it. But ex-cop Carlotta Carlyle has a P.I. license getting moldy from disuse, so she takes on the search for a little old lady's missing brother. After all, how much trouble could an aging cabbie get into? Plenty, Carlotta learns, as she uncovers a scam of laundered money and drug running, all mixed together in that dangerously powerful brew known as Boston-Irish politics. |
