The letter was brief and to the point: "If we wanted to live with faggots we'd move to San Francisco. Get out of town. Now." At their wits' end, two gay men hire private investigator Cassidy James to find out who is blackmailing them to leave their home on Cedar Ridge. Cassidy's original theory that this is the cowardly act of a homophobic nutcase is quickly negated when she learns that other residents of the Ridge have been getting threatening letters as well. Letters from someone who knows the most intimate details of their lives. Someone who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Cassidy throws herself into the investigation, hoping against hope that it will help her forget the horror of her first case...and the woman who broke her heart. Now a target herself, Cassidy doesn't realize how close she could be to getting her wish. After all, dead women have nothing to forget... Be sure to pick 1st Impressions, the must-read first installment in Kate Calloway's exciting mystery series. Watch for the next Cassidy James mystery, 3rd Degree, coming soon.

It starts out with two gay guys, Towne and Rick, who seek out Cassie because they're being blackmailed. Get out of town or get outed basically. And soon Cassie realizes that it isn't just Towne and Rick, but there's something larger going on.
There's also a romantic subplot in amongst it all. The girlfriend from the previous book vs. someone new as well.
And that was one of the things that seemed a bit off, the speed of the new relationship made it seem a little forced. And in some ways made that part of the novel seem like it was only there to be a bridge to the third novel. Also, there seemed to be just a bit of Superwoman who can do anything even if she's never done it before sneaking into the character of Cassie James, which was starting to wear on me a bit.
But, on the other side I liked how a lot of the secondary character were being fleshed out, and how we have been given looks into their lives here and there. It makes the world of Cassie James much deeper and real-er. (
