This is partly a mystery/cop book. And partly an ode to the good life. Great characters, an easy to imagine world, romance, fight scenes, history.
It also has inspired me to approach shared moments of life -- such as a picnic on the beach, or dinner with friends -- with more care, thought, and love.
Highly recommended!
