Burnout - Claire MacLeary

Maggie and Wilma are back, and this time Maggie means business. Intent on clearing her late husband's name, she's burning the candle at both ends, trying to keep her teenaged kids out of trouble and working the private investigating business to keep the wolf from the door. Partner Wilma is keeping it real, though. Together, they're tackling some of Aberdeen's dirtier secrets. But Wilma is not impressed when Maggie takes on a new client, a woman well known to have a less-than-close relationship with the truth, and who claims her husband is trying to kill her. Claire MacLeary fashions a surprising, gritty, sometimes darkly humorous tale that combines police corruption, domestic abuse and murder, with a paean to friendship,loyalty and how 'women of a certain age' can beat the odds.
