About this ebook

Graduate student Raina Sun is trying to keep her head above water as the bills roll in when her dashing college adviser cons her out of several months of rent. Her quest to retrieve the money sets in motion a streak of even worse luck. 

First, she stumbles upon her advisor's dead body and becomes a suspect in his murder. Next, the only man she's ever loved reappears as the lead detective on the case. Raina's having trouble interpreting his signals--does he want to reignite their passion, or just stay close to his prime suspect?

Her life careens further out of control when her grandma shows up at Raina's postage-stamp-sized apartment, dragging a red suitcase and trouble of her own. As Raina summons her sleuthing skills, she discovers that when it comes to murder, there may be no place for an amateur.

Ratings and reviews

Full of more twists than untangling curly hair. Think Murder She Wrote meets Stephanie Plum's bad luck for getting into trouble. Sex without details and bloody violence are off screen, but talked about. Good beginning to a series, but readers may want to take notes to follow all the action.

I get that a "big twist" was the goal. After all, like Popo said, the murderer is the least expected. But then again, it's mostly done as a character painted in a positive light, then turns out to be bad. But still, we get to know the character; as opposed to having an almost non-existent character be the murderer. P.S i thought the journal was an important evidence. I just wished, more of the contents were revealed.

I truly love this book when I first read it I didn't want to put it down but I had too when my free time has ended. Anyway I love these characters every single one of them in fact I got it right this time who is the serial killer is. I recommend this book to anyone who is trying to find a good book to read.

FIVE THINGS ABOUT ANNE

1. I can't resist ice cream. 

2. I started my first book a month after I had my first baby.

3. And now that she's seven, I brainstorm story ideas with my girl.

4. Instead of reading to my children, I make up stories round-robin style with my children at bedtime.

5. I secretly want Raina Sun's life.

A NOTE FROM ANNE:

My books are my legacy to my children. Unfortunately, they won't grow up in the San Francisco Bay Area as I did. Without a cultural hub to keep the language and philosophies alive, our family will lose this part of our heritage in one generation. My children will be visitors to this rich culture just like my readers. I hope you'll enjoy your time with Raina Sun and her large dynamic family.
