Jeri Howard is a San Francisco based PI. When her ex-husband sends a case her way, she treats it with caution. But what looks like a simple missing persons case turns into something much more deadly as Jeri digs deep into the past of an old murder that turns out to have serious consequences in the present day, maybe even for Jeri herself... I really enjoyed this book. Read it in one go. The story is told from the 'I'-perspective and you get to see both the people and the surroundings from Jeri's point of view, as well as hear her thought on everything. Janet Dawson's slightly sarcastic humour is right on, and at times hilarious. I just had to have all the other Jeri Howard Mysteries at once.

This author was recommended to me as I love 'light hearted' crime books (ie not too much blood and guts). The main character is a lady PI based in and around San Francisco and the description of neighbouring towns makes you want to travel.
A great read and am looking forward to continuing the series.

EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING
16 Oct 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A great PI series. This book is on the edge of hard core without all the gore. The character development gives you an insight into the feelings of the book and the plot development keeps you wanting to read on and on. I met Janet Dawson at a booksigning a number of months ago. Bought this first book to try "one of these days". When I finally got around to trying it I could kick myself for waiting so long. It is wonderful. If you haven't tried it, for crying out loud, get it. Just don't do what I did and wait for awhile. Buy it, read it, NOW!!!
