A ROOMMATE SEARCH TURNS DARK...
When Julie Smith's much-loved lawyer sleuth, Rebecca Schwartz, helps a friend move, she's pretty surprised to find the new roommate digging a grave. This mystery short story's a bit darker than most of Rebecca's adventures, although the irrepressible San Francisco lawyer manages to keep her famous sense of humor.A great introduction for those who haven't yet read Rebecca, introduced the same year as Kinsey Millhone and V.I. Warshawski, but a completely different brand of female sleuth - a bit less super-human, we're afraid. Rebecca's loveable for her very bumbling human-ness rather than her super-powers.
At the time, she was a bit hard-boiled, but mysteries with female sleuths have changed so much her humorous adventures could now be considered on the cozy side. (Except for the sometimes-un-cozy language. A warning to readers offended by such - stick fingers firmly in ears!)
