Sal Kilkenny is a private investigator. Just after Easter she has two active cases. Receptionist Lucy Barker is receiving threatening mail but would prefer not to go to the police and another couple would like her to check out an area where they're thinking of buying a house. Her main problem though is her seven year old daughter who has suddenly become reluctant to go to school and is so withdrawn that she won't even discuss the reasons why. Sal has to juggle home and work as well as a social conscience when she discovers that an elderly couple are living in dreadful conditions.
If you enjoy stories about private investigators then you might also like Ann Granger's [[Rattling the Bones]] which features Fran Varady or [[Friends and Lovers]] by Maureen Martella.
