Less than a year after solving her sister's murder in Chosen for Death, the superbly witty and decidedly feisty Thea Kozak is once again faced with murder very close to home. When the mother of her college roommate is slain near her well-appointed suburban home, Thea steals time away from her educational consulting business to investigate the crime--but not without first confronting the well-founded objections of her detective lover, Andre Lemieux. A truly unusual amateur detective, Thea struggles with emotional baggage, a deceitful employee, and even a fashion crisis as she seeks to uncover the truth. In her second Thea Kozak novel, author Kate Flora again offers up a remarkably entertaining and engaging character-driven plot that examines the intricacies of dysfunctional family life, emotional intimacy, and indivudual identity.
