In the third thrilling book in the Kelly Pruett mystery series–Her world was falling into place. Then women started dropping off the map.
PI Kelly Pruett finally feels like she’s coming into her own. With her personal life well on track, a gig uncovering what drove a client’s granddaughter underground could be good for business. But after her undercover operation at the homeless shelter reveals rampant drug dealing, she’s suddenly kicked off the case… just as another girl goes missing.
Vowing to expose the truth even if it means pro-bono work, Kelly is taken aback when her half-sister helps her hunt down answers in a tent city brimming with distrust. When her investigation doesn’t move quickly enough to save a second woman from a vicious murder, Kelly doubles her efforts unwilling to accept defeat.

REVIEW
I am loving this series and so glad to see PI Kelly Pruett back in action. With two cases under her belt she is beginging to find her feet in the world of Private Investigation, and when she gets a call from one of her father old contacts to find his missing granddaughter it opens up a whole new can of worms for Kelly, which sees her having to go undercover in a homeless shelter. When girls form the shelter start to go missing and with a warning from her client to back of now, Kelly can’t get let it go – she is getting in too deep to quit now.
Is the shelter a front for a drug ring or does it go so much deeper? Can Kelly find the granddaughter before it is too late? You will have to read this book to find out and I can tell you will not be disappointed!
Another 5 star read from Ms Keliikoa!
