Carlotta Wren's life is complicated. Her brother, who owes money to two loan sharks, is gambling again. She's in debt up to her eyeballs. And her parents are fugitives from the law who left without a word. Suddenly she gets a call from her father who she hasn't heard from in ten years, but it cut off when she drops her phone. The cops want to know where her father is and so does she. On top of that, her identity has been stolen.

After a bad day at work and being told to take the week off (unpaid, of course), Carlotta returns home to find that her brother and her friends believe she is dead. It seems the look-alike who stole her identity has died. The police see the report of her death as a way to smoke out her fugitive parents. Carlotta believes it's a waste of time and her parents won't show up.

This book begins right where the first book ends. The author does a nice recap of the last book which is great for people like me who forget what they read after a few short weeks. I thought the pacing of the beginning was a little slow, but once the identity theft was discovered, the story got interesting. The identity of the person who murdered the look-alike was a shock to me. I didn't see that coming at all. My rating: 4 Stars.
