Polliannah got married, but Semya is back in the saddle as the lead. This time, the mystery she has to solve is much closer to home: why was her best friend's brand new husband murdered? The more she digs, the closer the questions get: who is her lover Josh Heinz, really? And why is this scratching closer and closer to her family?Semya may be a cool customer who can control dangerous people easily- you've never pitied Russian mobsters so much before- but this book makes it clear that the person she really needs to protect is herself. Can she let down her guard long enough to get the help she needs to get to the truth? But if she does, will it be as devastating as she's always feared it would be?I've been impatiently waiting for more in this series, and I wasn't disappointed. Loved meeting Semya and Polli's brothers (well, most of them), and her take down of Josh when she finally- FINALLY!- learns the truth is delicious. The payoff to the overarching mysteries is equally satisfying, but don't worry- this isn't the end. Good- I can't wait to see more of one of my favorite detectives.
