Transferring the books on my spreadsheet to Goodreads First Toby Dillon mystery, in which the adoption attorney sets out to find a young birth mother who apparently deceived him and the adoptive parents of a little girl by not telling them that she was carrying twins. Now the mother and other baby have both scarpered, and the adoptive parents, a pair of Hollywood celebs, are heartbroken that their baby will grow up without her twin sister and they all get involved in trying to find them despite the fact that they have no legal claim to the other child. Very humorously written early on especially but the tone changes to more somber about mid-book; poignant and heartbreaking at times, too. Of course with Hollywood involved, you know there has to be secrets, scandal and blackmail involved somewhere and it all complicates things terribly for Toby, who is not only the celeb couple’s adoption attorney but their best friend too. Toby Dillon is an adoption attorney who assists his friends Brogan and Rita to adopt a baby. Brogan and Rita are special, not only childhood friends but film stars. Toby learns of a mother who wishes to put her soon to be born child up for adoption and introduces the mother-to-be Sammy to his friends. All goes well until 30 days after the birth whenthey need to contact Sammy and find that she has disappeared. This is a lively enjoyable read. Despite the serious nature of its central theme and the fact that there are murders, it feels like a light-hearted approach. The central character Toby is engaging, and humour comes through. Randall Hicks has already published a number of non-fiction books but this is his fiction debut. The sequel to this book is already at the publishers. There are some nice touches in this one Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

New attorney, Toby Dillon, takes little in life seriously, except his tennis game. He's a graduate of U.C.L.A. The only problem is his U.C.L.A stands for Uncle Charlie's Law Academy. Maybe that explains why Toby's office is the former storage room of a country club's Pro Shop, which Toby barters for being the Assistant Tennis Pro.His idyllic life changes when his two best childhood friends, Brogan and Rita, now filmdom's newest glamour couple, turn to Toby for help to adopt a baby. Although initially the adoption is a media feel-good story, things change quickly when the baby is kidnapped.When the expected ransom demand never arrives and the police turn up nothing, Toby, Brogan and Rita are left to find answers on their own, and their suspects start turning up dead. They learn there is more at stake than a kidnapping, and the answers may trace back to the childhood they shared, putting friendships--and lives--at risk. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
