The Fixer: The Naked Man by Jill Amy RosenblattMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Intriguing intro novella.
Katerina is a law student in New York, she's recently split up from her lying, cheating, associates-with-criminals, boyfriend (and boss) and is working dead-end jobs trying to pay the rent on her scuzzy apartment. Then she gets a call in the middle of the night from one of her-boyfriend's clients. He needs help urgently, his "lady friend" is naked and unconscious in his bed, his wife is due any minute and her husband is not someone to cross.
When Kat successfully extracts the naked woman without the client's wife being any the wiser she is offered a job as a "Fixer" or "B-Girl" by the mysterious MJM Consulting. In return for a significant cut of the fee Kat will "fix" anything her client wants: finding out the likes of a billionaire's girlfriend so that he can buy her a birthday present; retrieving an incriminating video tape from a hidden drawer in a desk; collecting food from the local Thai restaurant; all in a day's work for Kat.
Without spoiling this novella or the next novel (which I am currently reading) I think Kat is being a little naïve about her clients. I think she's wrong about the man in the blue car (or at least his employer) and I have my suspicions about the actor.
Anyway, this was short, intriguing, fast -paced and I have already requested the second and third books.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
