\"\"<\/a>The second book in the Garrett PI series finds Garrett at loose ends–and not particularly wanting to take another job, however, a beautiful fairy makes him an offer he really should–but won’t–refuse.

As usual for Garrett, nothing is as it seems, and things only get more convoluted as the case continues.<\/p>\n

As with the other two Garrett books I’ve read, a fun romp. Nothing out of the ordinary, but a very nice distraction.
