About this listen

In the vein of the bestselling California noirs of Sue Grafton and Sara Gran, a whodunnit about loyalty, love, and the legacy of trauma featuring a hardboiled, queer private eye whose latest case takes her deep into her own complicated past.

On the cusp of forty, Justine Bailen, better known as Jo, works for an all-female detective agency based in Tucson, Arizona. While staking out a cheating spouse, she learns that her long-estranged best friend from childhood, Rose, is missing, and that Rose’s mother wants to hire Jo to find her. This case is all kinds of wrong for Jo, but she has no choice but to head back to her hometown, an hour north and a world away from Tucson.

Back in Delphi, she learns that her high school boyfriend, Tyler—who is probably part of the reason her friendship with Rose went south—is the cop assigned to the case. It doesn’t take long for Jo to realize that he’s all mixed up in it, too. To have any hope of learning the truth about Rose’s disappearance, Jo must finally face the demons she thought she’d escaped.

Most uninteresting

The narrator has a high pitched annoying voice which when added to the unexciting plot results in a disappointing listening experience.

Clever, Intricate, and Satisfying

The pace of the book ramps up suddenly, much earlier than you’d expect. Then it turns into what you think is going to work out exactly as you’d expect, and then it suddenly starts racing toward some dark, unknown finish line.

I like Jo and sympathize with her. What young person hasn’t been baffled by arbitrary rejection at least once in their lives? I hope there are more Jo Bailen books coming.

Not the best

The main character is not believable as an experienced private detective. The characters are not relatable. The final reveal is not believable and contrived. Not the best detective novel.

Setting nice

I liked the ambiance of the setting -Tucson area - but did not like some of the errors in pronunciation by the reader. The writer wrote a good mystery but made some errors (e.g., scorpions sting they don’t bite) and rattlesnakes don’t strike out of hunger - strikes are defensive. These things do not detract from a good story but diminish the overall feel.

Jo is a well written character and very appealing. Interesting relationships among the key players.

There is not much reality to the settings other than brief mentions of common locations in Tucson. I had hoped for more real places.
