This novel is one of a series of Jamie Quinn mysteries.  Jamie is an attorney, practicing family law, but now and again acts as a defense attorney.  Her mother has recently died and Jamie is feeling depressed, knowing very little about her real father.  Then she learns he is Cuban and she uses what channels she knows to find him.  At the same time, she is acting as attorney for Becca Solomon in a custody battle with her ex-husband Joe.  Becca is unstable and Joe is found dead from an overdose of drugs and alcohol.  The story is simple.  Jamie hires a PI, runs into an old boyfriend from school days to whom she is most attracted and spends much of her time with girlfriends.  The story moves quickly, all is tied up in neat little bundles and comes to a quick end.  For anyone who want a quick, entertaining, not mentally stressful “whodunit,” this is the story for you.
