After an elderly neighbor falls and injures himself, Private Investigator Kinsey Millhone is hired by his niece to check the background of the nurse she has hired to take care of him. Kinsey checks out Solana Rojas' certification and interviews her previous employers. Everything checks out. But what Kinsey doesn't know is this woman is not Solana Rojas. She has stolen Solana's identity. She is a con artist who nurses the elderly while stealing their life savings. Kinsey becomes suspicious over the nurse's behavior and wonders if she missed something in her background check.

This is the twentieth book in the Alphabet Mysteries series. Usually these stories are told from Kinsey's point-of-view. In this book, there are a few chapters told by Solana. We get to know what she is thinking and exactly what she plans to do with poor old Gus. This was effective storytelling. I worried that Solana would kill Gus before Kinsey figured out what was going on.

As usual, Kinsey is also working several other cases. I found each of these cases interesting. It made for a great story overall. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
