Unicorns Can Be Deadly - (A Discount Detective Mystery) by Charlotte Stuart (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A young boy witnesses a kidnapping in a homeless encampment and flees for his life.

After rescuing a young boy trying to escape from two men who are chasing him, private investigator and single mom Cameron Chandler is repeatedly told that "you can't save everyone." Nevertheless, she takes on several clients who want her and her partner Yuri at Penny-wise Investigations to find missing homeless relatives, including a three-month-old baby.

Challenged by an investigation that ventures into a complex world of camaraderie and hardships where no one is safe, Cameron finds solace in her quirky but supportive family, her partner's trivia rants, her dog's obsession with stuffed endangered species toys, and a handsome detective who may or may not be interested in more than a professional relationship.
