Throwaway Angels - Softcover
Tova's lacklustre life - days spent running the Kwik Kleen Laundromat, nights spent brooding about being dumped by her girlfriend - picks up its pace when her friend Gina disappears. Gina works as a stripper in a local bar, and the cops don't show much interest when sex trade workers go missing. Reaching for a boldness she didn't think she possessed, Tova begins her own investigation. Throwaway Angels is a compelling whodunit, a fast-paced novel about friendship and living with courage.

From Library Journal:
First novelist Richler uses an understated, unblemished prose that suits her protagonist but belies her subject. Vancouver laundromat manager Toya leads a placid, routine existence until a friend of hers, a former stripper, goes missing and she finds herself investigating. While nicely written, the story suffers from a lack of forward motion and suspense. Wait for her next.
