Jule Selbo: 6 Days
Dee Rommel #5
6 Days by Jule Selbo is, ironically, the fifth book in the Dee Rommel series. This is already a crowded, detailed world by the time Dee is hired for her first solo mission as a private eye. Hired by her godfather, the former head of the firm’s best friend, she is soon drawn into the uppercrust world of Freya Cummings and her small isolated family. Though there is a little story beforehand, the book truly picks up when they reach Freya’s private island.
Freya was traumatically raped at the age of thirteen, and had a baby that she was told was dead. However, a young woman has stepped forward claiming to be her daughter and is pushing hard to meet her mother. Freya, a famous recluse who hasn’t left her island in years, is not eager to make the acquaintance. Dee and the family friend, who is immediately smitten with Freya, are tasked with making this claim simply go away – whether there is a biological relationship or not between them.
