Runaway is a solid page-turner of a mystery/thriller in the lesbian tradition, which means there is at least one blush-worthy sex scene. I enjoyed Laughin's writing and think she presented an original plot with a good balance between the thrilling action and the obligatory drama-filled budding lesbian relationship. (Personally, I wanted more thriller and less romance, but that's not the book she wrote.)

Jan Roberts, a PI at a Chicago agency, is hired to track down a teenager who runs away to live in a militia-style, survivalist camp---a place eerily similar to Jan’s nightmarish childhood place in Idaho. The romance starts when the agency is taken over by a British agency led by a hot, lesbian executive who quickly falls for seemingly aloof but passionate Jan.

I very much enjoy Anne Laughlin's voice. I'd give it 3.5 stars. You can read my full review at C-Spot Reviews: http://reviews.c-spot.net/archives/3864
A fast paced read that only took me a day. I enjoyed the writing and would have given it a higher rating if more dangling threads were tied up with the secondary characters. I felt the author didn't really explore what happened with them. I definitely enjoyed it enough to check out Veritas.
The romance between Jan & Catherine was 'meh'. They were both very flat & cardboard like characters. I mean there was absolutely no depth or dimension to anything in this book; nothing was fleshed out. I did not connect with these characters.
