Better Than a Rest

by PaulineMcLynn (Author)

Synopsis

Intrepid private eye Leo Street is on the trail of an adulterous husband when her clapped-out car causes her cover to be blown. It's time to draft in Ciara Gillespie, the teenage tearaway whom she befriended on her last case. At first, Ciara's madcap methods of surveillance leave a lot to be desired, but soon she's unearthing the secret life of an obstetrician who likes to dabble in genetic engineering...Meanwhile, Leo finds herself in even deeper trouble when she answers the call of Andy Raynor - an old flame who she's never fully extinguished. Sometimes a change isn't necessarily better than a rest...
