I am so happy (thrilled, really! absolutely busting!) that I get to introduce to you one of my favorite characters (drum roll, please): TOBY WONG!

Toby is a Chinese-Canadian divorce lawyer who returns to her sleepy hometown in British Columbia only to run into Josh Barton, the guy who broke her heart as a teen at summer camp. Now a wealthy entrepreneur, Josh wants to divorce Tonya, the mean girl who made Toby's life hell all those years ago. Not long after Toby takes Josh's case, Tonya is found murdered. Josh is the prime suspect.

Together with her fortune-teller mom & her pregnant best friend, Toby sets out to clear Josh, whom she still has a guilty crush on. While he seems equally smitten, can Toby trust him? The handsome cop charged with finding Tonya's killer doesn't think so.

Since Tonya stayed in touch with everyone from that lousy summer camp, Toby keeps running into ex-campers she'd rather forget. Could one of Tonya's catty friends be her killer?

Are Toby's old insecurities making her paranoid? Only too late does she realize that she really is in danger.

This book, DIVORCE IS MURDER, is the very first in what we (the author, Elka Ray, & I) hope is your newest addictive series ... Toby is smart & wickedly sarcastic & the whole cast of friends are fun! Toby is just the best character to keep you entertained!

Pre-order now. Out August 20th!

My thought exactly:

“Given what we’re finally publicly acknowledging about how women in the world are routinely treated, we shouldn’t be surprised their perspectives resonate with such truth when presented through the lens of suspense fiction.”
