Dying for a Blue Plate Special (Beth Kalikoff, 2005)
I'm rolling right along with the PNW mysteries. This one was written by a member of the University of Washington Tacoma faculty. I thought I'd read this when it came out a couple of years ago, but if I did I forgot the whole story. I have to love any story that's affectionate instead of snarky about Tacoma, a city I really like. I really hope Kalikoff writes more mysteries because this one blends two tropes I enjoy: the snarky amateur sleuths and parody of academic culture. This morning I had to read the last two chapters before work, even though that set me behind schedule by 30 minutes. Read this one.
