I have been a big fan of Ms. Fielding since the beginning. This one was okay but certainly not my favorite. I think I figured out why. On the back of the book it says "Look for the next thrilling book in the Bailey Carpenter series". Bailey is the main character in this book and obviously she is being set up for this series. So looking back I think a lot of things were put in this story to be used in future adventures! Bailey is an investigator. She works for a large firm of lawyers and she enjoys her job - until the night she is on a stake out and is attacked and raped. She tries to regain her sense of security by hiding out in her high-rise apartment. But paranoia causes her to carry scissors with her all of the time and check everywhere several times a day. Her brother, Heath, has tried to help out. (With his life style he is not the most dependable person.) She has step-brothers and a step-sister and they all show up to 'offer support' too. Of course Bailey is actually in the midst of a lawsuit with all of the steps - they think they should get some of the money left by the deceased father they all shared. Every time Bailey leaves her four walls she begins to see the man who attack her. Eventually the police are not so eager to listen to what she has to say.
It was entertaining and I will check out the next installment of this series.
