2011 book 98

Daphne Uviller's Hotel No Tell
The sequel to Super in the City is just as entertaining as the first one. Zephyr is now a detective for some NYC law enforcement agency and is assigned to go undercover at a hotel to find an embezzler. But of course things are never that simple. The mystery is interesting enough, but what I really like about these books are the friendships between Zephyr and her eccentric cohort, dealing with mostly-relatable issues (motherhood and ambivalence about motherhood, moving to the burbs, being cursed, etc). I really hope the author writes more books about Zephyr--she's just a really fun character to read about. A.
