She breaks out on her own as a PI in Santa Barbara, CA where there is lots of money and lots being covered up. The story is engaging as are the characters. ( ) This book could easily have been 100 pages shorter and not lost a thing. But the strangest thing was the authors using what I would call the "God" voice to set all the scenes e.g. "Kate entered the room where there was a desk" instead of using first person voice to set the scene. Interesting enough to finish but very glad I found this book at a campground exchange. Kate Blanchard, a policewoman is called to a hostage situation and it ends badly. Kate, who felt she should have done things differently, quits her job, ends her marriage and loses custody of her daughters. Kate becomes a private eye and is soon embroiled in a case involving the wealthy Sparks family when their ranch forman is found dead in a jail cell after being arrested on a drug charge. Was it murder or suicide? sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
