Ok book that never seemed to find its footing. I'm not surprised it's a debut novel.

Our heroine Pirio Kasparov is all over the map from part time babysitter for the son of her alcoholic best friend to being in charge of her exotic parent's perfumery business and in her spare time she goes out on a lobster boat even though she's totally inexperienced, with her best friend's baby daddy, Ned. On that trip their boat gets hit and she returns but not Ned. When the authorities start stonewalling her, she decides to investigate on her own. Besides that, the FBI is interested in her because of her superhuman ability to stay alive in frigid waters for a significant length of time.

That's a lot of stuff thrown at you so I sense that all this is to set up the character of Pirio for future books. The problem is, I didn't care for her all that much. She's a little annoying, a little vain and has some half assed ideas that gets her constantly in trouble. There's some interesting ideas in the story but not enough to keep me there. Again--just ok for me.
