The story centers around Deirdre Flanagan. She is 19 years old, a model and amateur detective who lives in New York. Her mother, having passes when she was a baby, was raised by her father and uncle. Her father was a famous boxer who now owns his own boxing gym.
The beginning of the book opens with a bang. A young, attractive woman falls to her death from the top of Times Square One, wearing a designer dress. Deirdre immediately notices the dress as one she had previously worn and even things, she recognizes the woman yet can't place her. Using her connections with the police department through her uncle the Captain at NYPD Midtown South, she's able to start investigating what might have happened to this young woman.
I don't want to say much more of the story as it would give too many spoilers. I will say that there are many twists and turns, a major secret from her father will be exposed and she will be able to help solve the death of this young woman. I can tell the author is well versed in New York and either did a lot of research into the modeling world or has connections to it. The author uses real world locations, events and people to make the story more real.
I really liked the character of Deirdre. Shes a strong, independent woman, who knows what she wants and doesn't apologize for it. I love that she's a near expert shooter and that she likes to eat her M&Ms in color order. Overall, this is a great book and I very much look forward to more from this series. I received this book free from Booksirens for an honest review.
