Book Review of Diamond in the Buff

Diamond in the Buff
reviewed on + 236 more book reviews


The complaint of a nude, sunbathing dentist who claimed he was attacked by a eucalyptus tree had ruined sassy Berkeley cop Jill Smith's plans for a lazy summer afternoon. She would have chalked up the "assault" to another incident in a silly feud between Hasbrouck Diamond, DDS and his masseuse neighbor...if it hadn't been followed up by murder. From the sidewalk tie-dye tables on Telegraph Avenue to the quaint ambience of Panoramic Way, Jill's case is as quirky as Berkeley in the '90's...a volatile mix of money, New Age, and murder.
