About this ebook

Angel Doyle, semi-reformed thief and accidental P.I., is back for a second adrenaline-fueled adventure.

Angel and her friend and sidekick, Sidney, are thrilled to get their first official assignment for the Omega Group, a super-secret international P.I. agency co-run by Angel’s mother, former adult movie actress Desirée Chablis. The agency’s mission: to recover a cache of stolen Egyptian artifacts for a prestigious auction house before an international gang of art thieves can sell them at a black-market auction.

With just seventy-two hours to locate the cache, Angel and Sidney are eager to be in the thick of the action. Finally, Angel will get to prove to Luc, the annoyingly hot ex-military P.I., that she’s just as skilled an investigator as he is. Instead, Desirée sidelines Angel and Sidney, making them bodyguards-babysitters for the auction house CEO’s bratty teenage daughter. The only upside to the job is the gorgeous setting. Who can say no to a free stay at a luxurious chalet in the Swiss Alps?

Anticipating a weekend of chocolate, cheese, and breathtaking views, the last thing Angel expects is to find a corpse in her bath. The duo soon faces an ambush, a snowmobile chase, and a literal ticking bomb. By the time Luc rolls up at the chalet, injured and expecting a peaceful recuperation, Angel and Sidney are knee-deep in snowdrifts and dead bodies. Can they escape the mountain before the bomb triggers an avalanche?

Ratings and reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed this fast paced mystery. Instead of a simple job as babysitters/bodyguards to a teen, the pair finds plenty of action with medieval weaponry, costumes, dead bodies, bombs, and more. This well written book is a hugely satisfying whodunit with many things that are not as they seem and a few red herrings. You will not want to miss Angel and Sidney's newest case!

A delightful story with Angel, her background of a semi thief, maybe a PI and disaster trying to learn how to knit. If that’s not enough she is rooming with others and the cat at least is friendly. A new boss at the yarn shop, saying how can you advise if you don’t know about yarn or how to knit. An assignment to watch a teenager, is only the beginning of the mayhem that follows. Delightful and definitely one to enjoy reading. Given arc for my voluntary review and my honest opinion Sent from my iPad

Zara Keane has delivered yet again with Ambushed in the Alps, the second book in her Travel P.I Mysteries series. This is another non stop, action packed rollercoaster of a ride which I once again devoured in one sitting. This book is just as fast paced, crazy busy, super entertaining and fun as the first book. Full of the same eclectic cast of characters, it was like visiting old friends. Can't wait for Angel and Sidneys next adventure and to see if, and how, Angel and Luc's relationship begins to develop. Great read!
