Charlie Bradshaw is looking for poetic justice. Life as a private investigator takes a turn for the literary when Charlie Bradshaw gets involved in three cases involving poetry - very bad poetry. A poem written in iambic hexometer is the only clue in a series of mysterious deaths at a nursing home, someone is robbing rooms at Charlie's mother's hotel and leaving behind poems for clues; and at an artist's colony. Charlie goes undercover as a poet to find out who's been harassing a pretentious literary critic. Charlie and a fetching supporting cast make this a welcome summer breeze for fans a small town mystery - comedy.

Great fun to read - filled with more than the accustomed fare of whodunits, murders, robberies and other assorted misdeeds.
