LEFTY NOMINEE FOR BEST HUMOROUS MYSTERY NOVEL
Korean-American adoptee Siobhan O'Brien has spent much of her life
explaining her name and her family to strangers, but her more pressing
problem is whether to carry on the PI agency that her dead boss
unexpectedly left to her. Easing into middle age, Siobhan would
generally rather have a donut than a romance, but when an old friend and
asks Siobhan to find her daughter who has disappeared from her dorm
room, the rookie private detective's search begins in Llewellyn
College.A private institution of higher learning in upstate New York,
Llewellyn, for the first time in its two- hundred-year history, has
opened its doors to men, causing a clash between the female students and
their former fashion-model president. The financial reasons prompting
the change seem like a ruse when fringe- group The Womyn of Llewellyn,
aided by Siobhan, discover a newly built science center, which is under
24- hour surveillance.
As Siobhan delves deeper into locating the missing girl and campus
politics, she encounters vegan cooking that just might kill her,
possibly deadly yoga poses, and politely dangerous billionaires. This
first in a new series introduces an endearing PI heroine readers aren't
going to want to put down.
