The Good Daughter: An Angela Matelli Mystery

I really enjoyed the Angela Matelli character. She's got a lot of depth. Strong and independent without being overly assertive and cranky. She's a tough yet feminine private eye just starting out in the business and is still learning the ropes. And I absolutely love the fact that she used to be a marine, but isn't at all butch. Her relatives might be irritating, but they have their redeeming qualities. The Boston setting is very interesting and filled with the international flavors of Ireland and Italy. The mystery storyline was a tiny bit on the slow side for my taste, but I was so interested in the characters that I raced through the book anyway. I look forward to reading more about Angela Matelli!
