In her second mystery, PI Calli Barnow goes undercover at a top Toronto advertising agency, charged with the task of trying to ferret out an accounting anomaly and figuring out the culprits.  Little does Calli know that she is stepping into a hornet’s nest which is, in part, caused by the head of the agency, the person who hired her. Besides dealing with corporate espionage, Calli deals with changes in her personal life as her girlfriend, Jess, pushes for a wedding, a traditional wedding that many women dream about.
Set in the Bay Street area of Toronto, the novel realistically looks at not only the inner workings of an advertising firm but also the marriage issues facing the LGBT community in Canada. High speed chases, kidnapping, gaming addictions, drag queens, and intercultural relations abound in this novel of mystery, suspense, and love with several graphic lesbian sex scenes.
Readers will sympathize with Calli as she must change her ways to go undercover, face changes in her own personal life, and face demons from her past.
The book definitely belongs in a public library’s mystery collection.
