Search - Following Jane (A Barrett Lake Mystery, No 1)

I enjoyed "meeting" Barrett Lake and hope to read more about her. In this a murder occurs and one of Barrett's students goes missing. A PI comes to talk to Barrett regarding the missing student. She is fascinated with the idea of "private investigator" and decides to offer her help as summer is approaching. Reluctantly he agrees. She decides to follow Jane's trail. In the process the murder is solved and Jane located. Dead or alive? Read the book!

Enjoyed it very much and I am now looking for more books both by this author and this particular series.

The guy at the door was stocky, grizzled, and tough. Berkeley teacher Barrett Lake thought he looked nothing like a private eye. But he was. Suddenly, at mid-career and mid-school year, Barrett finally knew what she really wanted to be when she grew up - be just like this licensed P.I. But first she'd better answer his questions.
