Why not use astrology to solve cases? That’s exactly what idiosyncratic detective David Lowell does so convincingly in this fun debut. A tough bartender is being framed for the murder of an up-and-coming female judge, and David’s lawyer daughter has inherited her case. Already known for his astrologic expertise, David reluctantly turns his skills toward what looks like an open-and-shut case. It turns out the beautiful and perfect judge, who also had political aspirations, was not loved by everyone. David’s team digs out the seamy details, relying not just upon his battered ephemeris but astrologic databases that can pinpoint a “Mercury in retrograde” moment when a confident killer made a mistake. VERDICT Add this one to your orders. It’s a perfect afternoon read that will provoke smiles. Almost cozy, with a Mr. Monk “like ensemble cast, this series debut has tremendous potential.
