The stalker wants to find Daniel Clay in the worst way.
Past Perfect (Scribner, 337 pages, $30) is mystery lite, a fun offering from Susan Isaacs that has the substance of candy floss. Katie Schottland was once employed by the CIA. Without warning, she was fired, ordered off the premises and disgraced. Fifteen years later, she's still smarting.Because this is a "rom-com" mystery, that's why. Schottland takes the bait, confronts her former boss and lover, is bamboozled by a lunatic and generally risks life and limb. It's good beach read, one that won't overstress your brain as you flip the pages.See the full content of this document
