First Toby Dillon mystery, in which the adoption attorney sets out to find a young birth mother who apparently deceived him and the adoptive parents of a little girl by not telling them that she was carrying twins. Now the mother and other baby have both scarpered, and the adoptive parents, a pair of Hollywood celebs, are heartbroken that their baby will grow up without her twin sister and they all get involved in trying to find them despite the fact that they have no legal claim to the other child. Very humorously written early on especially but the tone changes to more somber about mid-book; poignant and heartbreaking at times, too. Of course with Hollywood involved, you know there has to be secrets, scandal and blackmail involved somewhere and it all complicates things terribly for Toby, who is not only the celeb couple's adoption attorney but their best friend too.
