Synopsis

Fran Varady fell into private detective work by accident rather than design. Now she's got a "real" job at a trendy pizzeria, she's back on track with her acting ambitions, and she's even found a nice flat to rent. But things aren't as straightforward as they seem. The job, for a start: there's something rather sinister about the way the pizzeria is run. And the play rehearsals aren't going well. As if all this doesn't bring problems enough, Fran has rashly undertaken to help a young boy, illegally in the country, find an elusive people-trafficker called Max. When the trail Fran is following is suddenly and tragically interrupted by a horrifying death, she finds herself up against dangerous men and a ruthless organization.

Goodreads review by Anne on June 02, 2016

What a disappointing book! Well, the ones left in the garage are not always the best ones, but I've had good surprises. This one was not. It is part of a series and maybe reading all of her adventures would make the heroine more attractive, I don't know. I just could not believe any part of this sto......more
