One of the things I love about GR is the ability to know all the books an author has written. I read another book by Chelsea Cain, Confessions of a Teen Sleuth, that I thought was hilarious. It was a parody about a grown up Nancy Drew that she pegged downright. Had I have know that she had this seri...

Loved it. It is the story of Archie (the "defective" detective) and Susan (the "pink haried" reporter) and their adventures in trying to capture a serial killer. We are introduced to interesting characters, including a female serial killer who could easily swap grizzly stories with Hannibal Lecter.
