What's the Matter with Mary Jane? by Candas Jane Dorsey
When childhood friend Pris breezes back into her life begging for help with a dangerous stalker, our heroine is thrust suddenly into the world of the Canadian uber-rich. When Pris's stalker is then murdered outside her book launch, the case is closed just as quickly as it started. But something still doesn't feel right, so our nameless heroine delves into her old friend's past, seeking the mastermind behind Pris's troubles. Bunnywit does his level best to warn them, but no one else speaks Cat, so background peril soon becomes foreground betrayal and murder. Our detective walks a dangerous path in a world where money is no object and the stakes are higher, and more personal, than ever before.
