My Sweet Untraceable You

Hip, computer literate, and chocoholic, Lauren Laurano breaks the P.I. stereotype. And her new case breaks records for perplexity. Boston Blackie hires Lauren to find out what really happened to his mother, who reportedly died almost forty years before. What appears to be a simple case of a hurt inner child and a cold trail turns into a complex exploration of the dark secrets that haunt families and small towns. "A warm and witty protagonist from the author of Everything You Have Is Mine." *Library Journal "Competent mystery-mongering keeps Scoppettone's wide-eyed view of the Big Apple as a pan-sexual global village--Frank Capra for the '90s--largely, and appropriately, off to the side in her most satisfying case yet." *Kirkus' Review "Lauren Laurano is one of the best detective characters in one of the best detective novels I've ever read." Val McDermid "I think Sandra Scoppettone is great. Lauren gives Kinsey a run for her money any day in my book. As fast as Sandra can write, I'll be ready to read." *Customer review Quirky, jokey, outrageous and fun. That's about how you'd describe this further account of Lauren Laurano's sleuthing exploits. This one has a charm of its own and a story line that is a real page-turner. I'd never leave unread any Scoppettone book I might come across at the library. *Customer review
