The setting is New York City, the detectives a headhunting pair named (Xenia) Smith and (Leslie) Wetzon, though the narrative only follows Wetzon. Although I enjoyed the mystery well enough, it took me awhile to finish it, in part because the whole Wall-Street-stock-trading scene is a bit beyond me and mostly because from about halfway through the book—or less—I found I could not stomach Smith. I really didn’t like her and I couldn’t see waht Wetzon saw in her—even attempting to see it from Wetzon’s point of view. Possibly the author did not portray the irresistable charm (I’m guessing) she intend Smith to have for Wetzon.

It took me forever to get into this book. The first part was very boring and I almost quit reading it. It finally got interesting enough to hook me so I had to find out how it ended. I decided to read this book because I have the 4th book in this series so I looked up the first book. Now I don´t want to read anymore. This series is about a duo of headhunters called Smith and Wetzon but Smith is a very unlikable, shallow, cardboard character. Wetzon isn´t very smart and some things seemed obvious but she was clueless. There were a lot of names thrown around throughout the book, clients or people Wetzon knew, and it was impossible to keep track of them all.
