About this ebook

A brand-new Murder Mystery from USA TODAY Bestselling author Megan Matthews.

A missing person. A suspicious ex-boyfriend. A quiet murder.

Vonnie Vines promised everyone she’d be Maine’s best private investigator. It sounded simple, but cases are hard to find and money is growing tight. And then her only client turns up dead.

Now, Vonnie must solve a murder, find a missing Brent, and avoid falling back in love with her SEAL ex-boyfriend, all with the police in her way at every turn. While navigating her now abundant caseload, she’ll uncover new crimes, battle a metal band in her office building, and learn her ex, Broadrick, isn’t the man she thought. But who is he?

With rent due, Broadrick’s lies, and her new roommate Vonnie’s problems are sky high. If she’s not careful, she’ll lose everything.

A hilariously entertaining read with adventure, mystery and one hella-hot former SEAL. Or is he?

Ratings and reviews

Vonnie's story is set in Pelican Bay so the characters from Pelican Bay Security series pop in. Vonnie was introduced in that series, is friends with Katy and was normally Katy's sidekick in her various hijinks. Vonnie has decided to start a PI business. She's barely scraping by when she stumbles onto a murder and decides she needs to solve it, much to Detective Andersons dismay. To make things complicated Vonnie's ex makes a reappearance into her life and she finds herself looking after a dog she's not suppose to have in her apartment. Funny and completely entertaining filled with the quirky characters that make Pelican Bay so great. Can't wait to read book two.

This starts an engaging mystery series that I enjoyed reading. This story is about Vonnie Vines who's working at a detective agency trying to get her license. Her first assignment is proving her client's husband is cheating but she finds out he's innocent. Going to tell Mrs. Jones the news, Vonnie discovers Mrs. Jones dead on the kitchen floor. This leads her to investigate the crime with help from her ex-boyfriend, Broadrick in this enjoyable story.

Really enjoy having a strong lead character. The adventure that this amateur sleuth will get in is very entertaining. Interesting characters and a few twists in this story keep you guessing until the end. Good read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
