Where's Billie?
by Judith Yates Borger
Very good reading for airplane travel and stuck in a hotel for five nights. The crimes and criminals were a bit confusing and I never really understood why some of the stuff happened--the explosion, for example--but that's not really a criticism. It's a real life story, not a tidily plotted mystery. Not an Agatha Christie. Human behavior can be messy at times, and she lets it stay that way.
Especially enjoyable are the details on Minneapolis living. I like a little bit of travel story tucked in my mystery. And the detective (a newspaper reporter) was so human I wanted to talk to her. And sometimes, scream at her.
