    Sounds amusing. I hate having people take fingerprints - I CANNOT "relax".

    The opening line seems to have a double meaning, don't you think? Ha!

    Love the title. I am always game for a female detective story, even more so if it is a true story.

      It's not a mystery. It's actually non-fiction.

    I love the book's title and cover, and the opening makes me want to know what happens next. Why is that character being fingerprinted? I'd keep reading to find out.
