    I may try another book or two in the series—if only to get more information about the cast from this book. While the author explains the financial and banking terms thoroughly, the character development and backstory was really lacking. Her relationship with Jace—ex boyfriend she buys a house with but no explanation why they are exes. Her best friend is an undercover detective, yet Kat acts clueless to that seeing Cindy working undercover. Uncle Harry was introduced, and his system that “didn’t make sense”, several times, was a little redundant. Aunt Elsie gets thrown in towards the end only to tell a story that just so happens to be involving the very subject matter Kat is investigating. We find that Kat grew up with said aunt and uncle more than halfway through the book without any explanation. The author adding Verna to the mix is confusing as well. I found myself a little irked at the main character Kat with her “unorthodox” methods. Edit: missing a quotation mark at the end of sentence in the last page of chapter 25.
