Korean-American adoptee Siobhan O'Brien has spent much of her life explaining her name and her family to strangers, but a more pressing problem is whether to carry on the PI agency that her dead boss unexpectedly left to her. Easing into middle age, Siobhan would generally rather have a glazed donut than a romance, but when an old friend asks Siobhan to find her daughter who has disappeared from her dorm, the rookie private detective's search begins at Llewellyn College.
This book was a thoroughly enjoyable read at a time when things were bleak in the real world. I love that the protagonist is a Korean American woman who grew up with white adoptive parents. She is working on identity issues. The fictional town is based on Ithaca NY (I went to college there), and the author is a friend from college. It was so much fun to read this book and I am looking forward to the sequels.
