C.K.'s book reviews: STICKY FINGERS

Nancy Martin, Minotaur Books, ISBN 978-0-312-57373-7Contacted by her uncle, elderly head of a mob family, to kidnap a woman Roxy went to school with, Roxy goes to warn the woman instead, finding her as unpleasant as ever. Turns out the woman is kidnapped anyway, and then turns up dead. With the discovery the woman is a bigamist, the list of potential murderers grows. But Roxy can't get over a feeling of guilt that she didn't prevent the kidnapping, and when the finger seems to point at her, she's out to clear herself.

This is the second book in the Roxy Abruzzo series, and I love it. Roxy is a great character, as a single mother trying to do the right thing for her daughter, while often working on the edge of lawlessness. Must be hell, having old mob members for relatives! I'm glad to see Roxy cleaning up her act when it comes to indiscriminate sex--a great character arc. And really, tough as she is, sometimes the woman is pure mush. Love it.
