A Swell Style of Murder

The courage of a warrior, the heart of a poet, that's Rosie Caesare, the Italian American princess in Soho, New York, who solves crimes with Rick, her WASP husband from Connecticut. He's tall, dark, and handsome, but oh-so-unItalian. More inclined to read a mystery than solve one, Rick stuggles to understand Rosie's world of primitive loyalties and fierce confrontation. Why? The stuggle ends in the bedroom -- or the kitchen -- or the living room. The sex sizzles; the love speaks. The dialogue is snappy, the plot taut. Ironies abound: religion/violence; justice/revenge; heart/head. If you like Nick and Nora, you'll love Rick and Rosie.
