Another fun female detective series. ( )

Mysterious photographs lead to a grieving mother who may or may not have seen something suspicious when her daughter died. Add in medical intrigue, problems with P.I. Carlotta's Little Sister, seemingly unrelated murders, and, weirdly, the theft of her full trash cans, & the result is a mystery full of twists & turns & surprises. One quibble I had is that all the men in the book seem to find Carlotta irresistible. Irritating. ( )

A series of photographs start off this, the 5th Carlotta Carlyle mystery, in which the pharmaceutical industry both legal and illegal plays a deadly hand. ( )
