As is common with many current cozy's, male characters are either a possible love interest for the main female character or her posse, gay, humorous figures (boozers, druggies, losers, computer nerds), or father figures too old to be of any romantic interest.

Well deserving of it's nomination for best first novel in the 2014 Agatha awards.
