I've now read several Vanessa Gray Bartal books, and have enjoyed every one including this one.  The main character, Sadie, is a real spitfire, not afraid of anything and will say/do anything.  She opens her own Detective agency - with a somewhat silent partner - her 80-year old aunt.  Her first serious challenge is finding the murdered victim of a retired army special ops man, whe believes he killed someone.  However, due to the psychological trauma of the army, doesn't know who.  Sadie, armed with her quick wit and strong ability to judge people, finally figures it out.  Vanessa's trademark verbal exchanges between characters is filled with humor and sarcasm.  Off I go to find more Vanessa books.  Fun read!
