The subtitle is "A Humorous New York Mystery." It's a good thing she told me, because I would never have guessed; the humorous part, at least. It is so very New York-centric that one couldn't possibly miss that. The main character is absolutely horrified by the suggestion that he fly out to Ohio in the course of the investigation. He does it, but he is clearly afraid that he will get cooties.
It opens in a detox center in the Bowery. So, where can it go from there? To AA meetings, of course. Neither struck me as being deeply amusing - or interesting. When you throw in pedophilia and killer nuns - oh dear, I guess I gave it away. Never mind, you didn't want to read it anyway.
