Easy Innocence by Libby Fischer Hellmann


Book Description
Removed from the gritty streets of Chicago, the residents of the North Shore sleep easily in their million dollar homes. Easily, that is, until a local girl is discovered bludgeoned to death in the woods. Quick to blame the man with the bat, the North Shore returns to its version of normalcy. But the accused's sister isn't so willing to forget and hires Georgia Davis, former cop and newly-minted Pito look into the incident. What Georgia finds hints at a much different, darker answer. It seems that some privileged, preppy schoolgirls on Chicago's North Shore have learned just how much their innocence is worth to hot-under-the-collar businessmen. And while these girls can now pay for Prada, iPhones, and Jimmy Choos with their earnings, they don't realize that their new business venture may end up costing them more than they can afford...

My thoughts
Sara Long, a local teenager is clubbed to death with a baseball bat and the man holding the bat is arrested. Closed case, but not really. The accused’s sister hires Georgia Davis, former cop, now private detective to find the real murderer. What she finds is teenage prostitution and more. Libby Fischer Hellmann’s “Easy Innocence” is a mystery that keeps on surprising the reader. Life in high school and at home is not always what they seem. I found this book compelling and the character of Georgia Davis a fascinating one. I hope there will be more stories with her.
