Synopsis

Book Two of the Shirley Combs and Dr. Mary Watson series, THE ILLUSTRIOUS CLIENT, shows us the private investigator and her sidekick sharing an office, and introduces their receptionist, Lix. They are hired to influence a young international pop star, Oceane Charles, to pry her away from her older, richer, player of a girlfriend. The cast is made up of people with various ethnicities and backgrounds, and of course the job soon includes solving a murder mystery. Along the way, Mary discovers her latent lesbianism. Set in Portland, Oregon on a superyacht, in a hospital VIP room, at Rose Festival, and other fun places.

About this title

From the Author:

This is the second book in the Shirley Combs/Dr. Mary Watson mystery series. Like the first one, this book is descended from one of the original Sherlock Holmes stories -- in this case, of the same title. Here the relationship between Shirley and Mary continues to grow, and Mary discovers she loves women. In fact, she falls in love. The client is a young international pop star who is under the spell of a rich older woman who takes her from Monaco to Portland, Oregon in her yacht, into which she's built a recording studio for her young star. Murder happens, and only Shirley can solve the mystery, of course.
