Closing Time by Jim Fusilli

Closing Time is a mystery, the second in a series. The series protagonist is Terry Orr, who is a writer and aspiring detective. Terry has a motley group of friends and a precocious 12-year-old daughter. His beloved, artist wife was killed in book 1. In this book, Terry is trying to help solve a couple of mysteries. In one case, an elderly cab driver was murdered. In the other, a bomb was set off in an art gallery at an opening. Terry was attending the opening with his daughter, and was friends with he gallery owner, because she had previously represented his wife. Overall, worth reading, but not so compelling that I'll be seeking out other books in the series.
