Kate Huntington used to work at a trauma recovery center as a psychotherapist. Her husband is a private investigator. Kate gets involved with the new problem of an old client, and soon she and her husband are in the middle of an international intrigue.The characters talk to each other like good old friends, with fun and sweet playfulness. This does not always work, as too many casual conversations distract from character development and the plot progression often feels like the brakes are on. But, that being said, Collateral Casualties is a cozy novel, and it is certainly long enough to keep a person occupied for several hours. And luckily, when the sleuthing stress becomes too much, Kate and her husband can always have sex. It is clear that they love each other, and as they get trapped in a perilous situation, their serenity prayer is to stay together, in life or death or come what may.
