But when the witness goes missing during the trial, Nicole is caught up in a tangle of lies that turns deadly. However, The Ransom differs from the previous Nicole Graves novels which were solely about Nicole and told purely from her point of view. In the most recent home invasion, which involved Brad and Ashley Rexton, things had gone wrong from the start.When Nicole’s life takes an unexpected turn, she uncovers evil and corruption among the city’s most powerful people. But she’d already made up her mind that the first person she’d get in touch with would be Antonia—no last name given, just the word housekeeper—who appeared under A in Ashley’s address book. As a lover of the early Kinsey Milhone series by Sue Grafton I struggled to develop an attachment to Nicole in the same way.

Nicole is uncertain about involving the police and crosses paths with a detective who she feels a spark of romance might eventuate.

At other moments, she wondered how XHN had learned of her recent windfall—down to the exact amount—before she found out about it.Vibrant street scenes, swift pacing, and Nicole's steely nerve make The Entitled an entertaining adventure. If she’s still alive and is being held hostage, wouldn’t the kidnappers be trying to shake the ransom out of him? She dragged herself through the evening, feeling exhausted but too stressed out to imagine she’d sleep if she went to bed early.

The idea of staying alone in a house where a man was murdered and a woman kidnapped gave Nicole pause. I can see a really close working (and personal) relationship developing between these two in the future. She introduced herself to the front-desk receptionist and was directed down a long corridor, where a secretary was stationed next to a pair of wide double doors.
