Publisher Description
Jane Larson is back, and trouble abounds on New York’s Upper East Side!
A new client, Jasmine, hires Jane to undo the terms of a matrimonial agreement with her ex-husband, the owner of a prosperous hedge fund who does not like to lose. At the same time, Jane’s landlord is working to evict her from the storefront law office where her mother had practiced for many years, and Jane is forced to fight to save her mother’s legacy. However, it seems there is no way she can win.
All too soon, the bodies begin to pile up and Jane has to figure out who is responsible before she becomes one of the victims. Meanwhile, a guy named Gary is trying to worm his way into her life, and, even though she thinks he is much too young for he, she starts to fall for him. The problem is that he has a habit of showing up where the murders occur. Can she trust him?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The Hickses' suspenseful fourth Jane Larson mystery (after 2017's Mind Me, Milady) nimbly balances the feisty New York City attorney's personal life with a whodunit plotline. Faced with a bitter battle with her landlady, who's seeking to oust her from her office and apartment, the solo practitioner welcomes the distraction of a new case, helping her friend Jasmine get out of an unfavorable divorce settlement. When Jane gets a copy of the signed agreement, she doubts its legitimacy, and her suspicions are bolstered by a handwriting expert. When Larson and Jasmine seek out Jasmine's former attorney, Kevin Whyte, in his office, they find him dead, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Evidence surfaces that Whyte was murdered, and other homicides follow before the action-packed climax. The Hickses do a superior job of keeping readers guessing about the killer's identity. Fans of capable but flawed female leads will be pleased. (Self-published)
