What a great debut mystery. Some reviews have compared the protagonist to Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum - I'd say maybe if you're talking about book one of that series.
Tai Randolph has moved to Atlanta to take over the gun shop her uncle left her. Tai's plans are sidelined when she discovers the body of a young woman who has been left for dead in her car. The car is in her brother's driveway and Tai begins to investigate because she is worried her brother is somehow involved. Her investigation brings her into contact with the Phoenix company - one that specializes in security and protection services - and mysterious operative Trey Seaver. Trey is a former police officer who suffered a traumatic brain injury. That injury has altered his personality. He no longer is able to relate to people as he did before the accident and though he can tell if someone is lying, he isn't able to go with his gut and can't read emotions in the same way he once did. Sounds hokey but Tai and Trey make a great team and while there are a few rushed plot points, this is an author I'll be putting on the autobuy list.
