![]() ![]() ![]() The interweaving of current and past are done artfully. Kelly has never given up trying to find her and occasionally Claire or Kelly uncover clues as to Tracy’s whereabouts.Lastly, Claire reminisces about a case that she and Tracy worked on, the disappearance of their friend Chloe.I really like the way Sara Gran writes. One day, Tracy disappeared and has not been heard of since. And the search begins.Along with this storyline are flashbacks to Claire’s teen life in Brooklyn, NY where she, Tracy and Kelly were detectives. Along with Paul found shot to death in his den, it was discovered that several of his guitars were missing. During her stay abroad, Paul started going out with Lydia, who he ultimately married. Knowing Claire you’d realize that relationships are not her thing and she and Paul were getting too close for her comfort level. The constant references to these activities detracts from what could have been a really good book.Having moved from New Orleans in the first book to San Francisco in the second, Claire is trying to find out who killed her friend Paul, someone she’d been with before she relocated suddenly to Peru. When I reviewed Sara Gran’s previous book, Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead, I described the main character as: “She’s rough, tattooed, pot smoking, gritty and unorthodox.” Well, in Claire DeWitt and the Bohemian Highway, she’s graduated to a full fledged drug addict, constantly snorting coke, popping pills and drinking. ![]()
