Review: Tess Monaghan is bored in her apartment after getting put on bedrest from her P.I. business during her third trimester in her pregnancy. She entertains herself by watching people out her window. A woman in a green raincoat catches her attention as she walks everyday with her dog. One day, the dog runs by but without the woman. Tess becomes suspicious and gets to work as a P.I. from... the bed. Things get complicated and twisted as she works to discovery what happened to this young woman.
This really was a fun story to read. I hadn't read any of the others in the series so it stands alone just fine. You won't be lost. I loved the way Tess's mind worked and her ability to jump to conclusions. The supporting characters were just as fascinating and developed as the main characters. The eccentric Mrs. Blossom and the undecided Whitney were two of my favorite characters. The language wasn't too heavy. I remember two uses of the "B" word but that's all I can recall.
I would like to put out a warning that may also be a bit of a SPOILER: anyone who has ever experienced the NICU and gets emotional with it... use caution with this book b/c there are some tough scenes for you. The author keeps it realistic. My own son even experienced some of the medical issues mentioned in this book.
Rating: **** Four Stars
