*"Diana Lanningham. Twenty-four. Recent graduate of vet school. Large, sudden debt."
The interrogator paused to look at Di, saying, "Father, David. Deceased. Mother, Olivia. Incarcerated: first degree murder of David."
He gave a half-pause there.
When Di didn't react, he continued "No siblings. Rightful heir to the Lanningham estate, but at the moment, legally locked out of it, due to her involvement in the case against her mother. Amateur vlogger, but, also, at least in this investigator's estimation, not-so-amateur"
He stopped, leaving the final word dangling. He looked up from her dossier, and said pointedly at her, "What shall we say there? Sleuth? Detective?"
Solving her first case made her infamous; solving her next made her battle-tested; but solving her third case would make Diana Lanningham a phenomenon*
Written in showcase style and woven together as life events, this casebook includes Di's first three cases.
