In Uviller's animated, amusing sequel to Super in the City, Zephyr Zuckerman's boss assigns the spunky 30-year-old Special Investigations officer to a money laundering case at the Greenwich Village Hotel. Zephyr tries to work the concierge desk undercover, but she runs only into shenanigans and dead-end leads. As she struggles to find clues about the hotel's missing hundred grand, she must also deal with her own new and exciting single life after breaking up with her detective boyfriend. But when she uncovers that the hotel's problems aren't a simple money laundering scheme after allâand that she may be onto an egg donor scamâZephyr races to make connections and solve a crime that has her questioning her maternal instincts. While the copious allusions to New York City establishments and pastimes can have the overwrought feel of a campy travel guide, this refreshing, smart caper novel will appeal to anyone who loves well-plotted mysteries and funny, off-the-wall characters.Â

Even attempted murder is dealt a light hand in this irrepressible sequel to Super in the City (2009). In her first undercover case for the Special Investigations Commission, Zephyr Zuckerman is working as a concierge to find $100,000 missing from the books of a small New York hotel. Shes diverted when the owners nephew is discovered, overdosed on Ambien, in a recently vacated room, leading her to follow her instincts into a much bigger case involving upscale fertility clinics. Meanwhile, she offers solace to confidante Macy, who gave up her thriving wedding planning business, No Divas, after three clients died in bizarre accidents on their honeymoons, and high-school friend Lucy, whos miserable being married in the suburbs with toddler twins and a meddling mother-in-law. Also, Zephyr, still a bit fragile after her breakup with police detective Gregory Sanson over their irreconcilable differences about having children, dips her toe in the dating pool with a long-lashed, baby-faced firefighter. Snappy chick-lit crime fiction with a sensitive side and a loving look at the Big Apple.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
