"Woman murdered with vibrator." That's how Bad Vibrations opens and with your attention captured, it never lets go. This book,is,without a doubt, one of the funnies mysteries I have ever read. The humor is great, the characers are vividly drawn and the conversational exchanges will put you in stitches. You simply can't put the book down once you start reading it. The dialog is mesmerizing and catchy; it reminds me of Raymond Chandler in places. You get a double bonus-the book is very well written as well. The scenic descriptions of the Los Angeles area are beautifully painted and riveting. There are a number of scenes that you will reread several times because they are so poignant. I hope there are more Chauncey McFadden mysteries to come. This is a very original, creative piece of work.

I really enjoy Chauncey McFadden. He makes me laugh, but at the same time I find myself looking up some of the words he uses... I love a character with many sides. The story had just the right mix of colorful characters, good plot, humor, good setting and a mystery to solve as well. I found it easy to read and over much too quick. I hope that we will be seeing Chauncey (and Girtha too!) in the future.

I enjoyed this book very much! Chauncey reminded me of Lawrence Sanders' Archy McNally or Rex Stout's Archie Goodwin - smart-alecks who fly under the radar, befuddle everyone and get the job done. Good plotting, funny dialog, and colorful, well-done descriptions. Well done!
