Starred Review You can always count on Cathie Linz to create a feisty, nonstereotypical librarian in her stories, and this book’s heroine, Megan West, is no exception. Coming from a family who owns the largest private-investigation firm in Chicago, Megan figures she knows all the clan’s secrets. Wrong. At her cousin’s Las Vegas wedding, not only does Megan find out that a supposedly single man is married, she also accidentally discovers that her own mother, whom she’s been told is dead, is actually very much alive and kicking, and everyone else in the family knows it. Feeling as though she’s suffered the ultimate betrayal, Megan sets out with Detective Logan Doyle to uncover the whole truth about her mother. Their spur-of-the-moment journey takes them to odd locations, including a Chicken Ranch–like house of ill repute and an almost-ghost town, where they meet up with eccentric characters. Linz (Mad, Bad and Blonde, 2010; Smart Girls Think Twice, 2009; Big Girls Don’t Cry, 2007) has written another fast-paced romantic comedy with just the right amount of heartfelt emotion. --Shelley Mosley
