RATING: 4.0A San Diego hotel detective, a pretty laid-back surfer, investigates the murder of a sceptic at a convention for survivors of near-death experiences as the new Japanese owners of his hotel (the Hotel California) plus some unusual guests and a whale carcass make life difficult. Its all moderately amusing if fairly generic and light. 2.5 stars.
More please!Mr. Russell should be on more peoples radar. The Gideon novels are great, but I would live to see more from the Hitel Detective! Maybe a joint novel?
A sure WinnerI thought this book brought out the characters and their quirks very well. The mystery is solved and along the way there are swingers, a gold digger (man in this case), and a young Japanese owner of the Hotel. Very well written with some humor and a very satisfying ending.
Refreshingly witty and funny....Refreshingly witty and funny. Read this on my flight and was laughing in my seat. Love all the pieces. Its like Erma Bombeck meets Sophie Kinsella
