Nikki Griffin has a mysterious history, she owns a bookstore, but has a night job as well. She’s a P.I. and often hired by women to investigate their husbands or boyfriends and possible hurt them. Nikki doesn’t like abusers and she makes sure to let them know. This is a pretty violent mystery, almost a thriller, but it’s well worth it to see the bad guys get what they deserve. When Nikki is offered $20,000 to follow a woman who has been accused of corporate espionage, she discovers there is more to the story than what she’s been told. Always fighting for the underdog leads her into trouble with far more than just an abusive boyfriend.
I really liked the descriptions and the characters. I enjoyed the mystery, though I was pretty sure who was the mastermind behind it all. This is a male author writing a female character and often there are mistakes made. I found the few flaws weren’t deal breakers. It’s a fast paced read and I can’t wait to read the next book.
[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try the works of Sara Paretsky, Lisa Lutz or Sophie Littlefield.]
