Sometimes it takes the strangest things to figure out our lives. Jamie finds this out when her cousin is stuck in a horrible situation and she's trying to help him even though her Lawyerly skills do not extend to what he needs. I loved her point of view but I especially loved the characters. I think it is hard to really get to know characters in short stories but in this the characters are fabulous.Duke is a hoot. I loved the scenes with that guy and was hoping for more (short story thing again) although he does seem a little odd and a bit flirtatious, he also really seemed like the type of guy that would drop everything to help if you were in a bind, and Jamie was.I also really liked Grace! I found myself laughing out loud listening to the conversations between her and Jamie.My only negative is the way the characters spoke. I get Duke has a drawl and fortunately I wasn't reading this because it is sometimes hard for me to stay in the storyline while reading an accent. Also the way Adam was portrayed also was a bit odd. His speech really slow and sometimes slurred. But, again, since I was listening I think this didn't take away from the story where it may have had I been reading. And the narrator, Carrie Lee Martz, yet again did a fabulous job! Her voice is really easy to listen to.Another short and sweet from Barbara Venkataraman and I loved it. Really cute mini mysteries are so easy to read and very enjoyable.Received the book by the author for an honest review.
