Murder by Design

I enjoyed the book very much.  While touted as mystery/thriller, it was not a true thriller.  It was so easy to read, it was filled with tongue in cheek humor.  The main character, Edison Bixby, is a former LA police detective with a brain injury that makes him spout uncomfortable truth whenever he opens his mouth. Certainly not at all politically correct, not sure if some of it is intentional.  His sidekick is an infrequently employed character actor, Walter Nash, who tells the story, hired to keep Bixby out of trouble for his mouth.  It was a strange character pairing but somehow Goldberg made it work.  I look forward to the next book and plan to read his other series.
