Bursting into the mystery genre, this PI/New Author has started an intriguing series with an independent female PI.  Learning that the author is a “real” PI in New York, put this book at the top of my reading list.

With a great main character, Tracey, I was quickly pulled into the PI world and Tracey’s learning curve with her first Missing Person case.  With a great sidekick (every PI needs one) and interesting supporting cast, I could not stop until Laura was found.  The author did a fine job of making the missing person as much a part of the story as all the characters.

Looking for Laura is the first in what I hope will be a long and enjoyable series.
