Sisters Keeper (Stonewall Inn Mysteries)

Rating:
Summary: I could not put it down!
Review: I just love a book that I cannot put down. 'Sister's Keeper' was one of those books! It is so refreshing to read about a strong, lesbian main character, and not have her sexuality be the main topic! Sydney Sloan is a New York P.I. determined to find answers to the murder of her sister's childhood friend. Along the way we meet her business partner, Max. Their relationship if very comforting, like the big brother you always wanted. We also meet her sister who does not quite agree with her lifestyle. These two sister's find a unique way of dealing with this! Searching for answers gets Sydney and anyone close to her in trouble along the way, but this makes the story all the more exciting. I found myself constantly trying to figure out "who-done-it" until the very last pages! This was the first Randye Lordon mystery that I have read, and I cannot wait to read another! All in all- a great book!

Summary: Sister's Keeper is a Keeper!
Review: Sydney Sloane is a private investigator in New York City. But the night she and her sister, Nora, have been invited to dinner with Nora's best friend, Zoe, to celebrate Zoe's freedom, Zoe is killed. Nora hires Sydney to find out who killed her since the police are writing the death off as an accident. Sydney begins uncovering one clue after another that Zoe is not who, or what, she appeared to be on the surface. As she proceeds with the investigation, she meets Zoe's married lover, a sociopathic thug sent to scare her off the case, Zoe's friends, and Zoe's enemies. And then people begin dying. The author keeps all the subplots well balanced without subtracting from the main story. As each clue is uncovered, the reader is right there with Sydney. The denouement is a surprise and the culprit introduced early in the book. This is a well-written procedural that even a cozy reader would love. This author and this character deserve a very wide readership.
