Product Description(Amazon.com)
Beverly Danziger looked like an expensive, carefully wrapped package from a good but conservative shop. Only her compulsive chatter hinted at the nervousness beneath her cool surface. It was a nervousness out of all proportion to the problem she placed before Kinsey Millhone.
Still business was slow, and even a private investigator has bills to pay. Millhone took the job. It looked routine.
Elaine Boldt's wrappings were a good deal flashier than her sister's, but they signaled the same thing: The lady had money. According to the manager of her California building, the wealthy widow was last seen draped in her $12,000 lynx coat heading for Boca Raton. According to the manager of her Florida building, she never got there. But someone else had, and she was camping out illegally in Mrs. Boldt's apartment. The job was beginning to seem a bit less routine.
It turned tricky when Beverly Danziger ordered Millhone to drop the case, and it took on an ominous quality when Aubrey Danziger surfaced, making all kinds of wild accusations about his wife. But it only became sinister when Millhone learned that just days before Elaine Boldt went missing, her next-door neighbor and bridge partner had been murdered, and the killer was still at large.
As Millhone digs deeper into the case, she finds herself in a nightmarish hall of mirrors in which reality is distorted by illusion and nothing―except danger―is quite what it seems.

MY THOUGHTS: Another great book with lots of twists and turns. What starts out as a missing person case for Kinsey, fast turns into a mystery even for Kinsey. She can't quite figure it out. Elaine Boldt has dropped off the face of the earth. Kinsey has all kinds of clues to follow but she isn't getting anywhere with the clues. Then a "clue" clicks and Kinsey figures it all out, but her life is in danger if she gets caught finding out about this "clue". The last 2 chapters were a on the edge of your seat read. Does Kinsey find Elaine Boldt? Read the book, you won't be disappointed. I give this book 5.....
