My Review
Neurotic November is the fourth book in author Barbara Levenson's Mary Magruder Katz Mystery series. Like Levenson, Mary Magruder Katz is a lawyer in Miami. I enjoyed the Miami setting. As is obvious from the title, Neurotic November is set in November with Thanksgiving on the horizon.
Murder, rape and bank fraud combine with family matters to make life somewhat chaotic for Mary. This fast paced novel is a great read. It can be read as a stand alone novel.
At the end of the book there are recipes for Traditional Southern Cornbread Stuffing and Deep Fried Turkey!
