Not Dead Enough by J. M. Redmann

[spindizzy]

A woman wants to find her missing sister. That should be easy for an experienced PI like Micky Knight. Until the woman―or someone who looks like her―ends up in the morgue.

Micky finds herself in a tangled mess, not knowing who the real victim is, or how her name keeps coming up in places it shouldn’t. Like newly minted Realtor Karen Holloway’s house sale papers, as the contact for another missing buyer, one who looks a lot like Micky’s client.
The same woman? The sister?

Micky has to uncover what the game is and who’s playing. Because the stakes are murder.

I didn’t realise until I was halfway through J. M. Redmann’s Not Dead Enough that it was a continuation of a series; I thought it was the first book in a series where all of the characters had very detailed backstories! Either way, Not Dead Enough follows Micky Knight, a private detective who’s been asked to track down a woman’s missing sister, only to find that someone matching her client’s description has been murdered.
