A Whole Lotta Love

I have mixed feelings about this book and, unlike me, have left this review for a few days to get my head round it and whether to give 4 or 5 stars. I enjoyed the read and the characters, who are a eclectic mix, are very likeable and almost bumble along but in an utterly believeable way. Florence Love is a self employed Private Investigator bent on solving the mystery of her disappearing mother 25 years before which is reignited by a chance sighting at an Italian Airport. She is aided and abetted by her delightful brother Michael, who has Aspergers, his character leaves a lovely depth and grounding to the whole story plus friends Noah and Vee. There are many twists and turns, the ending is unforseen but concluding. The writing style took a little getting used to at the start and I found I had to read the first little bit again, after getting about a quarter through, to familiarise myself properly with the timeline. I see that Florence Love stories are part of a series and I shall be seeking out the previous ones. It is well written and subtly witty and quite quirky but endearing as one gets drawn into the characters and the plot.
