Ok book, just not my usual read and I usually have two or three books going at a time

A thoroughly enjoyable book with realistic characters

In "Something Shady" Stoner McTavish is asked to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Claire Rasmussen, a nurse working at a mental health hospital off the rocky shores of Maine. After Stoner and her lover Gwen get little information through more traditional means Stoner goes undercover as a mental health patient in an effort to discover the truth. But soon afterwards Stoner struggles with the fear that she had gotten herself too involved and might not escape alive. "Something Shady" is my first Stoner McTavish mystery ~ but it certainly won't be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed Stoner's character along with all the others and thought they were witty, intelligent, and multi-dimensional. Unlike some other lesbian mysteries I have read, the characters in this book are realistic and held my attention. At times I was laughing while at others I couldn't put the book down in utter anticipation of what was going to happen next.Kudos to Sarah Dreher for such an entertaining read! I just hope the others in the series will be just as captivating.
