What to expect
Smart-aleck attorney Jackie Swaitkowski's business relies on constant movement of Hamptons' real estate market. After making an odd request to evict his sister-in-law from his home, one of her clients turns up dead. Jackie would have expected that to be the end of it, but an envelope found on the corpse contains an item so unusual that Jackie finds herself working on something bigger—and more dangerous—than real estate.
Critics Review
“A vivid setting, sharp characterizations, and devious plotting.”
“Deanna Hurst flawlessly portrays Jackie, especially her humor and sarcasm…She also
vividly portrays Jackie’s down-to-earth ex-boyfriend. Hurst imbues the
dialogue with the essence of each character, keeping the focus on the
players and making them all distinct.”
“Readers, fasten your seatbelts for a roller-coaster ride as Knopf’s
intelligent, savvy protagonist works her wiles solving whodunit and why.”
“Knopf has a touch I like—cool, careful, reflective—and a great ear for the comic eccentricities of the human voice.”
“Crisp prose, brisk plotting, and sharp dialogue…More engaging hard-boiled crime fiction from a rising star.”
“Chris Knopf always delivers great characters and a solid plot but this
fifth book is his best, and it also brings back smart lawyer Jackie
Swaitkowski as the central figure.”
