High-strung, overworked, and wound way too tight, Kate slices and dices everyone she meets beginning with a fellow passenger on the flight from Chicago to Tucson. With visions of two weeks of quiet at a dude ranch, Kate arrives at a sprawling complex decorated in s lawn art. However, when she is taken to the one rustic cottage on the property, she envisions quiet walks through pine forests observing indigenous flora and fauna and viewing desert vistas.
It's too bad that she witnesses the removal of the body of a murdered illegal immigrant. Michele then referred her to Christopher, a flamboyant gay hair stylist that gave her a Lucille Ball look. He gave her a color red confusing her choice of auburn while having a chat with Michele's client, Tuwanda who works for Tangerine, the number one pimp in the city. After the horrendous hair color incident she has to go home and wait until the next day for corrective hair color stripper and redying.
An appointment was waiting for her the following day, her new client is Katherine Paar, none other than Tangerine herself.
She hired Kate as her new legal representative since her lawyer decided to retire. She then gave Kate the necessary documents and then some that she needs to protect. From that moment on Kate was kidnapped, beaten up, almost died of a house fire, walked into her trashed apartment and office, cross dressers criticized her hair color and clothing choices, and been driving around in a pink mobile with a homeless guy and a professional ho dodging criminals and looking for Tangerine.
Kate's adventure was hilarious. How to Lose a Client is the third novel of Kate Williams. I wouldn't know if not for searching more Bartness books. While it is set to be as a series, this third installment feels like a stand alone, which works perfect. Plus Bartness did some recap on what cases Kate worked on before.

I didn't get a hard time navigating this book. Kate is a likable character, she is not the uptight, stressed out, "I am a lawyer, get out of my way". Sometimes I forget because most of the time she was running away from the bad guys, she was incredibly patient with colorist that ruined her hair color, and she banters with criminals when she was about to get kidnapped. The sarcasm, the wit and the characters surrounding her made the whole book a laugh out loud experience. Tuwanda is my favorite.
Her metaphors and surprising take on things were a never ending amusement. I love the ending too, I never had a clue on who the criminal was. This was a fun read, with zany characters that reminded me of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, without being quite as crazy and over the top.
Kate Williams herself is in the process of pulling her life together after some major changes. The chaos was fun, but I hope she gets settled in for future books- she seems like a with-it person overall. The mystery worked well enough to carry the story, with some unexpected twists and turns along the way. The writing was slightly off. Not enough to bother me or get in my way, but someone who is sensitive to the words rather than the story might have more of an issue with it. Personally, I enjoyed the Phoenix setting.

I lived there for several years, which added to the appeal, but I think she throws in enough details on the locale to make it interesting even to those that have never been there. The book is worth picking up for a quick, enjoyable read.
