Review Chicago PI Kirsten, owner of the Wild Onion detective agency, has just finished a lucrative case and is planning to spend some quality time with her lawyer husband, Dugan. But when Dugan rescues beautiful Isobel Cho from what looks like a kidnapping gone wrong, and Isobel begs Kirsten to help find out who's stalking her, Kirsten can't refuse--there's something irresistibly innocent and sweet about Isobel. But, in fact, there is nothing sweet about the case in which Kirsten finds herself. Isobel, the daughter of Juan Cho, car-towing king of Chicago, is engaged to Jamison Traynor, son of a U.S. senator, but someone wants to split the two up, apparently on the grounds that Isobel, a "thug's daughter," isn't the right match for the son of a senator who could be the next vice president. Soon murder and an international scandal have further complicated the supposedly simple stalker case. Walker's Wild Onion series is funny and clever, crackling with energy, peopled with intriguing characters, and driven by the chemistry between Kirsten and Dugan. -- Booklist, September 15, 2011
