I was reading a 1000pg book and a 600pg book and I needed a break, something quick and little, and this 300pg book fit the bill. One I got reading it, I read most of it in a day! This is a sort of mystery, it's a private detective hired by a woman to reconstruct her life before a car accident, because she has amnesia. That makes it interesting, because, in a way, the bad guy is also the victim. I happened to land in the middle of a series, Kristin Ashe PI, but this was easy to follow without the previous books. I found the main character Kristin to be likeable, and I'd like to go back to the beginning and read the whole series. This works great as a stand-alone book because while it hints there may be more things in the past for Kristin's life or her fellow PI, ex nun Ruth, they didn't go into it at all. Nice, quick, entertaining read, just what i needed! Oh, and yes, this series is published by one of those cheaper, lesbian publishers, but unlike 99% of the books I've tried that are published by those, this is just a story of normal people who happened to be gay, and is not some sort of romance or filled with people coming out every five seconds. Happy to find a series like this, because that's how real life is, people going about their normal lives and just happen to have an orientation. So yay for the author on that! It felt like a mainstream book.

OMG! Is it, me or this book has part 2!? My jaw literally dropped when I realized it ended because I could scroll down no more. What a shame. It has ended before the exciting part had even begun. Don't hate me. This is just my opinion. Nevertheless, this book is awesome!
