Description
Marin County is famous for its affluent pleasures and the beauty of its beaches, mountains and redwood forests. In Time and Trouble, a teen-aged runaway, a yellow hearse, an insurance scam, a heart-shaped talisman, a baby's skeleton in a meadow, and something ugly and odd going on in a Sausalito houseboat all converge there to provide the first-and nearly last-case for Billie August, the new hire of seasoned P.I. Emma Howe. Billie, a single parent with no practical job skills, desperately show more needs the job, and Emma, whose personality has caused most of her employees to head for the hills, hires the sure-to-fail inexperienced young woman out of her own desperation. An unlikely, antagonistic pair, both find out that things are seldom as they seem, and appearances-in and out of crime and investigation-can be dangerously deceiving. show lessTags

About midway through this book, I really started to enjoy it and near the end, did not want to put it down. It was a little slow at the beginning trying to work out all the different people and their view point. Billie August goes to work for the seasoned Emma Howe at her private investigator business. They seem at odds at first but work together as a great team at the end, even if it is by accident. There is a lot going on in this book and the author does a good job of tying it all together. Good read!
