By day, Jeanne Pelletier is a small-town girl toiling in obscurity at a stuffy Washington, D.C., law firm; by night, she’s Zahira, the city’s newest belly dancing sensation. When a blaze rips through the city’s premier Middle Eastern nightclub and kills Jeanne’s beloved belly dance teacher Yasmina, Jeanne is drawn into a deadly mystery. Soon, she’s assembled a zany, crime-fighting urban family consisting of her obnoxious ex-CIA agent neighbor; her commune-dwelling, wild child best friend; and a sexy Scottish hacker bent on wooing the commitment-phobic Jeanne. But as Jeanne and her friends uncover a string of lovers and a web of family secrets stretching back to the Middle East, Jeanne is forced to confront a dark family secret of her own. AMAZON 5 STARS
What a wild ride this book was! Jeanne is really just as multi-talented and multi-focused as the book information says on Amazon. I smiled often at some of the snappy conversations that she took part in and the writer's style of writing. Maureen Klover really does know how to put some interesting people together. Even Jeanne's friends and family are NOT vanilla in any way. Its actually a wonder that Jeanne and her friend Lily can keep their day jobs, because of all the investigating they are doing on their own. Well, not totally on their own because of the assorted "chosen family" Jeanne has, who help. Jeanne's real life sister, Vivienne puts her hand in to help as well. And that sexy Scottish guy? Fergus, He was such a great addition and added some romance to the story. In the beginning its mainly him being attracted to her but he's gaining ground with her. He's just got so much going for him if only she would really look. His sexy accent is getting her attention and he does make her laugh. If you like a lot of action, surprises, twists, turns, some romance, mystery, good friendships, and plenty of other, secondary interesting people, pick this book. It really had it all.
I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
