Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Caviar Crimes" by Jonathan Schwartz is a very funny, sexy, romantic comedic mystery. Jonathan writes with endless humor about what he knows best, life in the Marina Del Ray area of Los Angeles, the inside out of securities fraud and one of his passions, stand up comedy. No matter how serious the mess his characters find themselves in, Jonathan brings out humor. His key character Tom is an attorney who lives on a boat in the Marina with his long time girl friend Maria. We get a passionate feel for what it is to live on such a boat during the best of times and the stormy worst. Jonathan has great character development, especially that of Tom's girl friend. And that provides some of the saucier moments with a comedy twist, such as his "Sex at Sea" scene. I thoroughly enjoyed "Caviar Crimes" and highly recommend it for a fast, very enjoyable, easy read. I have read it twice.
