I liked this book.
It began with a bumpy start: A lot of characters with borrowed names--Calista, Moon Unit; and an improbable plot set-up--a lottery winner who's whole life was staged to mirror Marilyn Monroe's; a young female private eye, hired to help save Calista, the Marilyn wannabe, from herself & her enemies. Then the story became quite engaging. It was light reading, held some peril, danger, shady characters, more plot discovery, and mystery solved. It had me guessing the "who dunnit"; and I was wrong. Enough going on that the would-be Marilyn-ish Calista killer was not too predictable. Even a little of the spirit-world thrown in for good measure. A nice mix for a light mystery. 3.5 stars
