Greenwich Village PI Lauren Laurano appears for another bout with murder after someone shoots her good friend Megan. As she questions children, ex-husbands, and other suspects, Lauren acquires essential self-awareness as well as clues.

Difficile de le lâcher tant le style de Sandra Scoppettone me plait, me tient en haleine et me donne envie de tourner la page pour la suivante.
Par contre, le livre datant des années 1990, les évocations de la sexualité de son personnage principal sont dans la paraphrase pas toujours très bien choisie. ( )

Petite, attractive, hip, cholesterol-conscious, and gay, Lauren isn't your typical private detective. She shares a brownstone apartment with her psychologist lover, Kip, in New York's fashionable Greenwich Village, where they are surrounded by a circle of warm friends who keep them well insulated from the craziness of city life. But when Lauren's closest childhood friend, Megan Harbaugh, is murdered in her West Village jewelry store, the illusion of protection is instantly shattered.

Lauren is hired by one of Megan's former husbands to investigate the crime, which propels her on several searches at once. The first is personal. Not only must Lauren come to grips with her best friend's death, but she finds herself questioning just how well she really knew Megan, who, though straight herself, was the first person to accept Lauren's lesbianism. While the list of suspects grows and the danger mounts, Lauren also begins wondering how well she knows anyone as she uncovers one startling surprise after another about her friends - and herself.
