PI Addie Gorsky is still struggling with her father’s death when a friend asks her to look into the sudden death of his niece, Elena. The young woman died minutes after being discharged from Tender Mercies Psychiatric, one of the darker places in the Sunshine State.

Addie agrees to this small favor, despite Elena’s death from anaphylactic shock appearing like nothing more than a tragic accident.

Another enjoyable story about a hard-working female P. I. with lots of smarts, lots of spunk and not always a lot of common sense. Addie Gorsky, or more formally Adelajda Gorsky, reminds me of Jack Reacher. She’s a former Homicide Detective and she tends to just go in head first and think later. She’s also fun, humorous and has some quirky acquaintances. Addie just lost her dad, also a long-time cop and she’s having a hard time adjusting. It isn’t that she didn’t have siblings, it’s just that she and her dad were very close and that’s who she talked things over with. We’ve all been there in one way or another. Having inherited China Rose Bar all at once sort of complicated things even more.

This was a great Private Investigator/cop story. Had all the necessary ingredients…an angry cop and a helpful cop, lots of twists and turns, a psychiatric hospital and a body or two. Anderson’s characters are defined so well that you want some to become your friends and some you hope you’ll only read about in a book. Although there were a lot of scenes involved, the China Rose, the police station, the psych ward, etc., I was never once confused. Everything in this story was clear, interesting and fun to read.

Looks like Daryl Anderson has 2 or 3 other mysteries that have great reviews. They all look like standalones as is this one. Maybe we can talk her into starting a series. I sure liked this spunky P. I.
