After being fired from Peres and Lacey Advertising, Leigh Kaslow and several other ex-employees from their own agency, but a lack of capital leaves them in trouble. To supplement her income, Leigh hires on as a vet technician working with her former crush Dr. Mike Tanner. Mike used to work for Leigh’s father. Her interest in the doctor is rekindled, but this time he seems to reciprocate her feelings.
One late evening after a tough surgery, Leigh spots a light in the tiger exhibit. She investigates and finds dry blood and body parts. Covered in blood, Leigh runs to get help. She thinks the victim is her old nemesis Carmen. The police charge Leigh with murdering her old enemy. Though frightened by it all, Leigh begins making inquiries to prove her innocence.
Any one who knows Leigh Kaslow realizes she is fictional proof of a corollary to Murphy Law as she seems to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. NEVER SORRY is a shock a minute as an amateur sleuth that is impossible to predict what happens next. Edie Claire keeps her audience on edge with her ability to produce one stunning event after another. Leigh is a likable character who will get inside the reader’s soul and root for her to escape from her current woes. Ms. Claire is a wonderful story teller who provides a superb addition to the mystery genre.
