Always (Aud Torvingen #3)

Always by Nicola Griffith is the third book featuring Aud Torvingen. The first two are The Blue Place and Stay.

Aud (rhymes with loud) is a kick ass chick. With a past in law enforcement she now teaches self-defense, is a private security consultant, and has more money than she could ever need. She is starting to make some changes in her life after the stories in the first two books. (I will not spoil anything!) She is beginning to learn that everything is not black and white and that there may be more than one way to do things.

In Always Aud and her friend Dornan fly to Seattle - partly to see Aud's mother and her new husband and partly so Dornan can visit the coffee capital, as he owns a chain of coffee houses in Atlanta. While in town Aud must check on some property she has inherited from her father. And that is where the story get interesting.

One of the warehouses she owns is being rented by a movie company. The set has been plagued by one mishap after another. Aud suspects the sabotage has more to do with someone wanting her to sell the property than with the movie production.

Griffith, Nicola. (2007). Always. New York: Riverhead Books.
