This is a fine first novel, another terrific summer beachbook and the first transgender mystery written by a transgender featuring a transgender protagonist. The plot that drives the novel is the whodunit not the who-is-what-gender, the presence of the transgender issue moves the reader forward a bit in normalizing the life experiences of transgender people. This book has been nominated for the American Library Association Stonewall award. Vol. 29 Issue 12, p37-37 1/4p
