Kat Carson and Ernie Lunt are an odd pairing. Ernie is an irascible, middle-aged private detective. Kat is his teenage intern, a college student with a love of nineteenth-century detective novels. When a colleague’s body washes up on the beach, both Kat and Ernie want to know what happened. Kat takes the initiative without Ernie’s knowledge, hoping to impress her more cautious boss.
Kat's Eye

Kat's Eye Indeed
This is my favorite of the author’s books. Kat is tiny and scrappy as she fights her way through the mystery. It keeps you guessing until the end. I especially liked the delicious irony that a little paperwork could have solved the case quicker than the risky mayhem. If you need a young heroine to admire I recommend Kat.
The Crime is Solved
I loved the mystery of the book. Ernie was an interesting character. He reminded me of the character in the movie, Erin Brockovich, which starred Albert Finney. He was a lawyer and was the boss of Julia Roberts. Kat was a similar type of worker in Ernie's office, helping to find the murderers. The book was well-written and presented an exciting group characters. Enjoyed it all.
A Breakout Novel!
The rapid-fire, first-person narration of Kat's Eye reveals a fully human central character, Katherine "Kat" Carson: she is flinty but vulnerable, smart but fallible, confident but self-conscious, young but able to teach her elders a thing or two.
