I liked Gailey's novella about historical hippos a lot, so was psyched to check out her first full length novel. Our protagonist is your typical world weary, hard drinking, hard boiled private eye, taking on the usual cases involving adulterous spouses—until the headmaster of the school where her twin sister teaches hires her to investigate the murder of another teacher. And, oh yeah, IT'S A MAGIC SCHOOL. Bam! This was a really fun book and the mystery and magical elements both totally worked for me. Great characters too. I can’t wait to see what Gailey does next. A/A-.
