http://threedollarbillreviews.com/201... What happens when you mix database programming, ex-Navy, breast cancer, lesbian, and amateur detective together? You get Tess Camillo, main character of Morgan Hunt's mystery series. I came to this series a little backward, having read the second book in the series first. I enjoyed the character so much I purchased the other books featuring this phenomenal character. This book begins with Tess discovering a rattlesnake under her bed at her home in San Diego. When a woman is later found dead of a bite from the most venomous of snakes, Tess can't help but draw connections between the two incidents. Tess's naturally inquisitive nature leads her to hunt down different clues to the murder, in an attempt to help the police investigation and stay safe. When a lump is discovered in Tess's breast, the mystery whodunit becomes a much-needed distraction, and Tess ends up even more involved than she would have liked. Sticky Fingers is a fast-paced and enjoyable read. The crux of this lies in the character of Tess and her wonderfully humorous and engaging voice. You come to care for this woman quickly and as a result become invested in her story from the beginning. They resolution to the mystery is a surprise, something that's truly key as too often the answers are revealed to readers much too early. The writing is clean and well executed, making this story a joy to read. Though this book is a mystery, an important subplot is Tess's battle with breast cancer. It's obvious that the author's own experiences have informed what Tess is going through as these parts of the story have an inherent realism and truth to them. This is the one area of the book that I wish has been more of a focus of the book. This is first and foremost a mystery story, but breast cancer has such an impact on Tess and her outlook on life that it felt a bit too glossed over. Surely there is a fine line between enough and too much information before distracting from the mystery aspect, but from my perspective the author easily could have included more of the cancer subplot without crossing that line. What I like so much about Tess is that she is a woman that many will recognize. She's a bit older, a size 16, has fallen in and out of love, gets horny and satisfies those needs. Within this story, Tess has a date that's a thinly veiled cover for a booty call, which is both a bit humorous and a turning point for Tess as the date notices changes in Tess's appearance. Tess also still fosters quite a flame for her ex and roommate Lana, who has unfortunately decided she's straight. I look forward to seeing how their relationship will change over the course of the series. Tess is a woman you can easily relate to, with an inner strength, sense of humor, and presence that many hope to possess. The secondary characters that I loved so much from the second book are all introduced here, including roommate Lana, Tess's ex Detective Kari Dixon, and ex-husband Roark. The relationship Tess has with each person helps to flesh out her characterization even further. Even the dogs Raj and Pookie add color to the story. This being the first in the series, this book focuses more on Tess and less on the others, but that is expected as we're just being introduced to this woman we will be following over several books. Overall this is a strong beginning to a series focusing on a lesbian amateur sleuth with a complicated life. Tess battles breast cancer, and has her outlook on life challenged as a result, but finds an inner strength that helps her persevere both in her recovery and in tracking down the person responsible for murder. Witty dialogue and a wonderful cast of characters make this a book recommended for all readers.
