Breecie LeMay takes a leave of absence from her legal practice in Washington DC after her father has a stroke. She lingers longer in Trinidad, CO after she discovers the Russian pistol that killed her mother and letters her father wrote to a lover in a secret compartment under the stairway in her father's house.In this thrilling mystery, everyone becomes a suspect. I was surprised by all the twists and turns all the way to the end. In addition to the fast-paced reading, these Carl Hiaasen-style characters made me shake my head and laugh a lot. There are many quirky, characters I loved to hate and even the characters I was rooting for nearly redefined my ideal of off-the-wall. The author's use of language is creative and fresh.
