After Carlotta Wren’s parents skipped bail, leaving their family behind, she tried to raise her younger brother as best she could. With no money, she began a boring job working at Neiman Marcus selling designer clothes to her former friends. But her brother became involved with computer hacking and gambling, and soon finds himself arrested by a hot looking cop who tries to catch Carlotta’s interest. After bailing him out, she forces her brother to get a job and he ends up moving bodies for a funeral home while his new boss is looking to put the moves on Carlotta. Toss in a D.A., who’s looking for publicity by reopening her parent’s case, a murder investigation with Carlotta at the center; and three good looking men vying for Carlotta’s attention, her life is going to be anything but boring.
This book is the first in a series of books with Carlotta at the center. It introduces the characters by wrapping them up in a great mystery. There’s enough danger and confusion to leave you uncertain where the story is headed and it’s really easy to sympathize with Carlotta as Stephanie did a great job with her character. Definitely worth reading.
