From Kirkus Reviews
When Vicky Fischer hires Vancouver p.i. Meg Lacey (Ladies' Night, 1988) to track down her sister Sherry and nephew Mark, she sets in motion two murders and one stomach-turning case of child abuse (so extreme that the wife-beating that preceded seems inconsequential). Sister Sherry, she says, is mentally unstable. Sherry's husband Greg, who is liked by almost everyone, says so too. Then Sherry is found dead, as is an old codger who seemed to be lurking around her apartment. Greg's alibi--that old mystery chestnut, the mis-set clock--is quickly picked apart, but while Meg tackles him, the cops are busy hassling Sherry's neighbor Ed, a black man with a record of assault, who, coincidentally, is having an affair with Vicky. Meanwhile, Mark is cowering under his bed, badly beaten and terrified, and Meg is almost strangled before she can rescue him and solve his mom's murder. Best for the exquisitely delineated scenes between Meg and her college-age son, in the throes of his first love affair, and her career-minded daughter, a new convert to feminism. -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.

From Library Journal
Bowers begins her second Meg Lacey mystery ( Ladies' Night , Seal Pr.-Feminist, 1988) with quiet efficiency and an apparently easy case. A client begs Lacey to look for her mentally unstable sister, who has disappeared with her small son. Shortly after locating the woman, however, Meg learns that someone has killed her. In order to ferret out the murderer, she delves into the backgrounds of the client, the dead woman's husband, etc. Deceptively simple in plot and style, yet fraught with growing suspense, this concisely written tale leads the reader on a jaunt through Vancouver.
