Mad Money & Murder

Pond Investigations Mystery, Book 1

De: Jenni Stand

Narrado por: Carol Beth Anderson

Liz Pond is a private investigator with her own agency in historic San Antonio, Texas. Her specialty is proving that con artists are frauds, and Liz knows just how to spot a fake...by using her own secret psychic abilities.

However, after the failed rescue of a kidnapped woman, Liz has lost all faith in herself as a PI. She's also lost her psychic abilities and doesn't know if she'll ever get them back.

While walking along the San Antonio River Walk during its annual draining, Liz finds a body weighted down at the bottom of the drained river. The victim's roommate hires Liz to find the killer. Liz agrees to take this one last case because she can't stand the idea of seeing a murderer escape justice.

A romance with a local police detective is bubbling just below the surface, plus a reluctant friendship with an investigative reporter she's afraid will discover her secret, will this end up being her last case? Or will Liz regain her abilities - as well as her confidence?

Immersive

Well, folks, I’ve finally been to Texas!

I’ve never had setting be this impactful in a book. I feel as though I’ve personally walked the streets of San Antonio, experienced the celebration for the annual draining of the river, and enjoyed great food with the locals, all while solving a murder.

The plot follows a psychic personal investigator whose skills are varied and not infallible which makes her relatable and gave me something to cheer for from the start.

She’s also gifted with a sense of humor and heartwarming connections with friends and family. I laughed on more than one occasion.

Mad Money & Murder is the perfect mystery cozy. I’m keeping my eye out for the sequel.

Such a fun and easy read! Love the book! Can’t wait for the second book!

Keeps the suspense while reading the book. Love all the details on San Antonio and the River Walk area.
