Harriet Klausner's Review Archive
The non-Smith tale is different, weird, and fun as the protagonist is a dead sleuth investigating a homicide, however the reason to read this anthology is Jill Smith, an interesting Berkley cop. Fans of the series will have a chance to read Karma, released in the pre-Windows 1980s yet a novel that remains fresh as Jill investigates the death of a guru. Though this reviewer would have preferred three Smith tales, as the Celestial Detective seems in the wrong anthology, Susan Dunlap's collection demonstrates the author's ability to tell a solid crime tale.
