Samantha “Sam” LaCour is an accountant at Wiley Consulting. While working over the weekend, she talked with Norma, a co-worker. Norma asks if she knows what happened to Dana Wilson, Frankie Kensington’s secretary. Apparently, she is missing and no one knows where she is. Sam decides to do some detective work into the disappearance. She found Dana’s bank records which showed large deposits from Gate Marketing, a client of Wiley Consulting.
Sam buys a lock pick set and decides to break into Gate Marketing. She enlists the help of Don Stader, a friend with excellent computer skills to investigate Dana’s background. She also gets unexpected help from a police officer but threats from another one. Meanwhile, her sister, Felecia, is constantly setting her up with disastrous dates.
The book has a steady pace, the characters are somewhat developed, and it is written in the first-person point of view. Sam is the amateur detective that thinks she knows what she is doing but in reality, doesn’t. If you like amateur sleuths, you may enjoy reading this book.
