Large target Book

In a sense, this is a cathartic work being true to life of that of a large person as there is the self-deprecation, name-calling and shame that comes with not being able to control one's size--a theme that runs throughout the book. Beyond that, there is a varied cast of characters that lend themselves to the story-line of Jo, who works for a philanthropic lady as her personal sleuth to find out who are deserving of her gifts to the arts. This has a little of something for everyone--a dead body, mourning the loss of a friend, a chase and fractured relationships.

This is my first exposure to Ms. Murray's works and thought she would never stop developing the plot. As expected, closure was quick with a tying up of loose ends.
