Outstanding . The whodunit plotline is enhanced by Wiley's superior gift at integrating humor, mostly deriving from Kelson's inability to keep himself from sharing blunt truths. The author's ingenuity shows no sign of diminishing. Fans of the TV series Monk will be enthralled * Publishers Weekly Starred Review of Head Case *
