Deadly Secrets

Angus Brodie and Mikaela Forsythe Murder Mysteries, Book 2

De: Carla Simpson

Narrado por: Bronwen Price

A severed foot. Fingerprints left on a wine glass. A secret cipher code. The scent of orange and cinnamon left behind by the murderer.

Mikaela Forsythe, adventuress, author, and now private investigator, is back. She is pulled into a deadly case that may just see her friend, actress Theodora Templeton, sent to prison for murder when a severed foot is found in her bed, and a high-ranking official has gone missing.

Is it a crime of passion or something far more sinister?

Only one person can assist: former police inspector Angus Brodie, the irascible Scot who challenges her at every turn. But Brodie is reluctant to take the case of a woman who communicates with the dead and keeps a four-foot iguana as a pet—until there is another murder and then another.

As the body count rises, Mikaela and Brodie are forced to undertake a dangerous scheme to expose the murderer. But secrets lie in wait, and desperate people will take desperate measures to protect those secrets.

All the while, Mikaela's great aunt has decided to go on safari, the Mudger and Rupert are caught up in the case, and a brilliant young man—Bloody hell! Another Scot!—has joined the team. Then there is that undeniable attraction to deal with that lies simmering just beneath the surface for two people who could not be more different...

What is an independent lady to do?

Interesting

I really liked the characters. Narrator does a good job. Looking forward to more stories.

That brody was such an old fashioned kind of guy

The constant whiskey drinking.
They would have wrought got before.It was all over, but I must say.I enjoyed the narrative very much she's.She's one of my favorites now.

Loved it!!!

Fun story, great narrator. Looking forward to the rest of the series. On to Scotland!

More of a romance than a mystery

I managed two books in this series, but won't go any further. These are too much of a romance book rather than a mystery story. I got tired of them fighting and yelling at each other - her exerting her independence and him trying to protect her and tell her to stay home. It was annoying.

Unrealistic and slow

Tried several times to listen to this; however, the story line was unrealistic and uninteresting. Cannot recommend

not the worst

the write over uses the phrases "understatement" and she "but I digress" every other sentence. the store is fine and the characters are different but it's ll little lacking.
