I won an advance reading copy a few months ago and am happy to share my thoughts about this novel.
Kinley and her mother have disappeared from their home in Palm Springs and the custodial father hires Moriah Dru to locate his missing daughter. The search takes Moriah from Palm Springs where everyone seems to be playing a part, to the high desert where everyone seems to be hiding something, to Atlanta where everyone has a skeleton or two in his closet.

Slow to start, abruptly ends. In between - good story, great character development, implied kinky sex, fast-paced, multifaceted mystery. Being a native Arizonan and living in LA for ten years, the Palm Springs setting was familiar and readily brought forth visual images. Interesting how the author made the setting switches between Atlanta and Palm Springs very easy to follow. Throwing in a bit of native American culture was an added plus. I'm off to locate the first book of the Moriah Dru/Richa...more
