Murder Can Depress Your Dachsund by Selma Eichler

In ten words or less: PI investigates a murder. Was the wrong brother killed?

Review: Manhattan private detective Desiree Shapiro is contacted by a lawyer friend on behalf of a friend. Byron Wills' son was shot the night before he was going to donate his kidney to his brother. Jordy was a saint, everyone told Desiree. If anyone had enemies, it was brother Cornell, who was hated by his ex-wives and business associates. Was it a case of mistaken identity?

Why bother? Although she's a licensed PI, Desiree has more in common with an amateur sleuth than other professionals. Even though the story is set in the big city, this mystery has the feel of a cozy. Fans of Sharon Kahn and Sarah Strohmeyer should check out this humorous series.
