The title comes from the fact that the sheets on Jean Paul's bed were cerulean blue, but that is not what the book is about--that is but a dalliance. Musette, Belle Morte's trusted cohort, is in St. Louis--not a good thing since Belle Morte (the head of Jean Paul's bloodline) is angry with him and all his "people" (defined as vampires, werewolves and other shape-shifters, and animator). Not only that, but someone is killing women in a horrific manner.... So when exactly is Anita finding time for dalliances?
Am now reading Cocaine Blues, by Kerry Greenwood, the first of the Phryne Fisher mystery. Within the first two short chapters, she finds a mystery, journeys to Australia, makes friends of a doctor and two shady cabbies, and finds a true-blue maid. Within the next chapter, she has found a second mystery and met several more people. These novels are short and move rapidly while being funny and a little tense.
