DATING DEAD MEN
Harley Jane Kozak
Doubleday
ISBN 0-385-51018-7
Hardback, 326 pages, $22.95
Genre: Mystery

Wollie Shelley has to date 40 men in 60 days, as part of a research project for radio talk-show host and author Dr. Cookie, while desperately trying to pass inspection for an upgrade to her card shop from Wollie's Welcome! To Wollie's Wilkommen!

On her way to a state-run mental hospital to visit her brother, Wollie discovers a dead man in the roadway, is taken hostage by a man posing as a doctor, and ends up taking care of a ferret while dodging the mob and two Swedish men intent on killing her.

Wollie is a fun character - hope to see more with her - and the read one I thoroughly enjoyed. With plenty of offbeat characters, a good plot, and twisting mystery, you won't be disappointed.
