Cadence Jones is a sweet, kind, girl-next-door sort of woman with two sisters, Shiro and Adrienne. All three are members of an elite, and mostly unknown, branch of the FBI known as BOFFO (the Bureau of False Flags Ops). BOFFO employs a collection of psychotic and sociopathic social misfits who, because of their mental challenges, are able to look at crimes in a different way. Cadence has a multiple personality disorder, so she, Shiro and Adrienne fit in well with the odd collection of BOFFO agents. Though Cadence seems to be the dominant personality, in times of stress or danger it is Shiro or Adrienne who appear to protect their mild-mannered sister. And now they've been handed a case requiring the special talents of all three.

The ThreeFer serial killer is so named for his habit of leaving three victims (and no forensic evidence) at the crime scene, and the latest trio of victims has been dumped in BOFFO's back yard. Worse yet, the killer seems to be escalating, making this the perfect case for Cadence (and Shiro and Adrienne) and her sociopathic partner, George. As they put the clues together, Cadence begins to suspect there may be a more personal message in the ThreeFer's methods. The team catches a break when the killer makes a mistake, leaving one victim alive, and it becomes a race against time to find a killer far crazier than all of BOFFO before he strikes again.

MaryJanice Davidson falls into the "I'll read anything she writes" category. Some books I like better than others, but I'm always entertained. When I read the blurb for ME, MYSELF AND WHY?, I have to admit I was skeptical. Oh, me of little faith! ME, MYSELF AND WHY? is a clever (ingenious!) roller coaster ride into the quirky, crazy, scary and sometimes sad world of Cadence Jones and her unconventional sisters. Ms. Davidson's gift of creating memorable characters runs wild in this one, from her main character(s) to Cadence's best friend, Cathie (every bit as nutty as Cadence) to Cathie's older brother Patrick (surprisingly normal), and her unique sense of humor is evident throughout. Make sure you set aside plenty of time for reading, because once you pick up ME, MYSELF AND WHY?, you're not going to want to put it down!
