She Came Back to the Begining

Out of print and driving me crazy, thank god this one came back. I was given the third book (She Came By the Book) years ago, and collected the rest. Finally, I get to read the begining about how Emma wound up a PI. This book is a wonderful kick off for the series, and while the second book was dissapointing, I was thrilled to have gotten my hands on the start of it all.Emma's in Boston, where she runs into a bevy of bewhildering circumstances that make her dig for the truth. I could do without the drugs, but Mary Wings sets up the groundwork for a great character and a wonderful world.

A great mystery

Finally back in print, Wings's first mystery featuring the witty Emma Victor is a noir thriller certain to keep the new reader at attention. Emma is called to meet a stranger one night, and finds her dead in an alley. She begins following the clues and finds the murder connected to previous crimes around Boston, including the clinic where Emma's new girlfriend works.
