What is the main setting in the novel, ‘E’ Is for Evidence: A Kinsey Millhone Mystery?

The story takes place in Santa Teresa, California beginning December 27th. Her description of the weather and the atmosphere of California in the wintertime give you a more realistic feeling. Santa Teresa is a real place and actually it is where the author of the story was born and grew up. This is most likely why she is able to describe the place and time of year with such detail and accuracy. She is able to tell you about the winds and what the weather are like that match actual wintertime California accounts of weather. It's a lot of fun when the characters you are reading about are placed in the world you actually live it. It causes them to feel much more alive. There is even a Wood and Warren Company in California, though I'm sure that part of the story was more fiction than actual people. She even describes the view from her office balcony saying that she can see the V of the Pacific Ocean from State Street ten blocks down. Even when she flies to Dallas to talk to Lyda Case it feels like she is describing the airport as it actually looks.
