Starred review from July 13, 2020
Newbie L.A. PI Gray Sykes, the 39-year-old heroine of this smart, razor-sharp novel from Thriller Award finalist Hall (They All Fall Down), reluctantly accepts her first independent assignment from her boss, Nick Rader, a friend of hers since she was 15 and on whom she now has a crush: to locate physician Ian O’Donnell’s missing girlfriend, Isabel Lincoln, who may not want to be found. As Gray searches for Isabel, she discovers that self-professed nice guy Ian abused Isabel, and that Isabel even attempted suicide, revelations that resonate with Gray, who was abused as a child growing up in the foster care system. Then Isabel herself starts to text Gray, who eight years earlier went under another name, to tell her to stop investigating, and it becomes clear that Isabel’s own strange history mirrors Gray’s in the way Isabel has shifted identities. A final plot twist puts Gray’s life in peril just as she’s getting closer to Nick. Full of wry, dark humor, this nuanced tale of two extraordinary women is un-put-downable. Agent: Jill Marsal, Marsal Lyon Literary.
Narrator Je Nie Fleming's soft voice is a good match for this mystery. Grayson Sykes is excited to get her first serious case as a private investigator at her friend's consulting firm. A hotshot doctor wants to find his missing ex-girlfriend, who took off suddenly, leaving no forwarding address and taking his dog with her. Fleming highlights Gray's frustrations at making rookie mistakes, her growing suspicion of foul play, and her conflicted feelings for her male boss. Varying her tone and inflection to distinguish each character, Fleming adds intensity to the dialogue as Gray gets closer to the truth. The story deals with tough issues, including domestic violence.
