Cute story in fun environment

Stereotypic character with a fun twist. I always like stories set in SF conventions. It was an enjoyable read.The mystery was well plotted. I guessed the 'killer' just as the detective did. It is a treat to discover it on your own. You don't dis-respect the detective or feel like you're dumb.
