Fun and somewhat frenetic mystery story starring Zephyr Zuckerman and her 4 best friends. When the super of her parents' townhouse is unexpectedly hauled off to jail, Zephyr, at her parent's urging, takes over the role of super of the building and starts snooping into the other tenants' lives. With an overactive imagination and an uncertainty as to where her life is going, Zephyr tends to make things up. Unfortunately, eventually her lifestyle leads her right into a mafia-type situation. Fun and quick read. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:"One should not simply read Super in the City; one should gobble it up like candy.".
"Undoubtedly smarter and funnier than most girls-in-the-city novels.".
"[A] funny enjoyable caper about a dirty job.... With a polished lead character, an ear for snappy dialogue and a propulsive storytelling style.".
"[A] lively, smart chick-lit mystery.".
Zephyr Zuckerman, the 27-year-old heroine of Uviller's debut novel, is a sexy cross between a slacker Nancy Drew and Walter Mitty. She's a hopeless romantic, a self-conscious daydreamer, and a habitual party-crasher. When the superintendent of her parents' apartment building is arrested, Zephyr becomes the new super, and chaos ensues. Emily Janice Card, daughter of author Orson Scott Card, is delightful in her narration of the novel. She interprets the text--and the author's many subtexts--with youthful energy and a furious pace that doesn't sacrifice articulateness. The book is often sexually explicit, and some listeners may find the material silly, especially during Zephyr's frequent lapses into vapid daydreaming. But Uviller's punchy style and Card's lively interpretation make this chic-lit mystery a sexy laugh-out-loud treat. S.E.S. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine.
HTML:In a city brimming with opportunities for heroism, twenty-seven-year-old Zephyr Zuckerman has often fantasized about committing acts of bravery that would make front-page news. Now she may get her big break–though it may require plunging a few toilets. When the superintendent of her parents' Greenwich Village brownstone is led away in handcuffs, unemployed Zephyr takes over his post and unleashes her inner sleuth: discovering titillating secrets about her tenants–from a smoky-voiced Frenchwoman who entertains throngs of unsavory visitors to a moody musician who just has to be hiding something–and realizing that her new reality is far more intriguing than her imagination. Soon Zephyr has sussed out wrongs that stretch from losers on the Internet to art fraud and an international crime ring. The mob thinks she's in the FBI, and the FBI thinks she's in the mob–a predicament she needs to clear up fast. But perhaps not before a cute, surly exterminator helps her solve the mystery of what to do with the rest of her life.... From the Compact Disc edition..
