Hi Five by Joe Ide
one female. Five individualities. With a witness that redefines the term “people person,” private detective IQ is back to solve a murder in Newport Beach.
Christiana is the daughter of Angus Byrne, the largest dealer in weapons on the West Coast. She is also the only eyewitness and the top suspect in her boyfriend’s murder, who was discovered dead at her Newport Beach shop. In order to establish her innocence, Isaiah Quintabe is forced to take the case. If he can’t, Angus will hurt the talented PI’s new partner, ruining her professional life.
Christiana has numerous personas, which is the catch. A foolish, attractive shopkeeper, an annoying rock band drummer, and a wanton seductress were among them. Before the police zero in on him, Isaiah must put together hints from each of the characters to figure together what actually happened the night of the murder.

The premise of Hi Five is very intriguing: Christiana, the only eyewitness and prime suspect in her boyfriend’s murder, is the daughter of the largest arms dealer on the West Coast. She has several personas as well. In order to save his fiancée from the consequences if he fails, Christiana’s father forces private eye Isaiah Quintabe to take the case and piece together the narratives of Christiana’s numerous identities. The fourth book in Ide’s IQ series, it can be read independently.
In areas of Los Angeles that are rarely addressed in the majority of criminal mysteries, IQ, our Sherlock-in-the-hood, unravels crimes and conspiracies. He is helped by his former partner, a drug dealer and a member of a gang. By the fourth volume, the circle of acquaintances had gradually grown. Romantic partners, odd friendships, and enemies brought the world to life. Therefore, after the riddle is understood, the resolution is a cunning emotional hammer since you know the formula. Unaware of it, I had a stronger attachment to these fictional characters. I was unprepared for the sudden surge of sadness and loss. For the first time, the series has changed from what I had previously assumed, and I have no idea where the next instalment will go.
