Rating: 4 out of 5

This is my first read in the Joe Costa series and apart from wanting to read more of the series I don't feel like I'm missing anything by starting the series at number four. In some ways this is a fish out of water story as we follow Lily Sutter move from the east coast to the wealthy enclave of Montecito in California. However, Lily may not know the local terrain but being an amazing "people person," it doesn't take her long to find out and get to know the local rich to whom she will sell her high yield investment securities to. However, just as she made the move away from trouble out east, it's almost as if trouble follows her and she becomes embroiled in deaths, murders, FBI investigations and mobsters. Luckily she has Joe Costa to help her sort it all out. This is a story that rumbles along at a good clip, the smart and crisp dialogue worth the price of admission alone!
