This book starts off with a bang. Kiki Lowenstein has been shot by Detective
Chad Detweiler's estranged wife Brenda. She takes off and
we all think that will be the last we hear from Brenda. In
a way it is - Brenda is found dead. The bullet casings near
the crime scene come from Detective Detweiler's gun!
The police think they have found the killer and they have
charged Detective Chad Detweiler with the crime. With Detweiler
under house arrest, can Kiki find the real killer? She is
dealing with other heavy issues including having to say good-bye
to, Dodie, her longtime boss and mentor. Can Kiki fulfill
Dodie's last request? Will Kiki forgive herself for taking
a life, even if it meant she saved herself and several other
people?
Things to ponder: Who killed Brenda Detweiler? What is the
secret that Anya is keeping? Will Mert ever forgive Kiki?
What color will the new baby be wearing - - - pink or blue?
