Skin Deep (2020)
(Siobhan O'Brien, book 1)
Sung J Woo
"Siobhan O’Brien (black haired Asian adopted by an American Irish father and Nordic mother) perfectly fits the spunky independent investigator gap left by Kinsey Millhone. I love how she delivers lines like, ‘Surveillance makes the tummy grow fonder?for food, that is,’ in this funny, entertaining mystery that hits all my favourite buttons."
