About this ebook

The search for a movie star’s missing family puts California’s plus-sized P.I. on the case of a killer’s plot in this mystery by the author of Every Body.

In San Carmelita, California, private detective Savannah Reid and her husband are facing their latest challenge: babysitting their newlywed friends’ incredibly fussy infant daughter. But soothing a squalling baby is kid’s stuff compared to the Midnight Magnolia Detective Agency’s latest case. Charismatic actor Ethan Malloy has enlisted the help of Savannah and Co. in a desperate attempt to track down his missing wife and toddler—just before the beloved family nanny gets murdered.

With the police involved and paparazzi swarming at every turn, the discreet search becomes a sensationalized homicide investigation. And some snooping into the complicated private lives of Ethan and his wife tells Savannah that she’s in for a deadly chase. As Savannah dismantles bombshell after bombshell while balancing delicate family matters of her own, she soon finds herself closing in on a terrifying culprit—one who’s willing to do anything for a moment in the spotlight.

Ratings and reviews

LOVED this book! This is another fun and quickly moving mystery following Savannah and her team at the Midnight Magnolia Detective Agency, along with her husband Dirk. While employee and close friend Tammy is dealing with family complications, Savannah is called in to assist a famous actor when his wife, son, and nanny go missing. Before long, they're in the middle of a fast moving mystery with suspects popping up all over. I particularly enjoyed the writers style and the way "southernisms" are woven through the novel....that is set in California. The dialogue is witty and engaging and I cared about the characters and felt invested in their story. If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. While this is part of a series, this is a stand alone novel. The author is on my must read authors' list and should probably be on yours as well.
