Unexpected Audible Benefit

Listened to this book during a trip to the mountains with a teacher who was celebrating the end of school. We heard the first book of the series last year and she enjoyed this one as much as the first. The book probably has a PG-13 rating and follows Sofia, a Hollywood star turned private detective, as she solves cases in Malibu, California. The book kept my friend’s interest and she barely noticed that I drove too fast on hairpin curves and passed slow trucks on steep climbs through the mountains. Keeping a passenger busy while I drive is an unadvertised benefit of Audible.

Laugh Out Loud Comfortable Listen

Would you listen to 'B' is for Bad Girls (Malibu Mystery) again? Why?

Yes, it's a fun listen. Not a deep thinker, but just darn fun.

What other book might you compare 'B' is for Bad Girls (Malibu Mystery) to and why?

The others in this series of course.

Which character – as performed by Madeline Mrozek – was your favorite?

Sofia, of course.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There are laugh out loud moments. Sofia's Niece and Nephew hijinks with cherry pits and MMA SHENANIGANS are great.

Any additional comments?

I've listen to four of audio books in the Malibu Mystery series. All have left a positive memory in my head.

Thanks for the opportunity to review this title.

Keeps getting better!

I read the first in this series and was offered this for review. I enjoyed the characters and storyline, I liken it to Stephanie Plum but it really is quite different in many ways. I'm glad the two main characters aren't hot for each other all the time as well. This young lady is way more self sufficient than SP. Looking forward to next in this series!

Enjoyable, funny, entertaining

The exploration of the characters seems to be more important than the who done it of any one story.

The listener is entertained as a friend as the characters become part of of people it seems the listener has known for years.

Well done series. I hope it continues.

Fun!!!

Another great story with Sofia. She is a former child, now an adult, television star who has given up the "fame." She just wants to live a quite life doing good for people.
As usual, her good intentions puts her in situations that become hilarious.

For a short span of the book, her niece and nephew were the most entertaining characters in the book. This is an enjoyable series with a little sleuthing and many funny situations.

Another great book in this series

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sofia she brings trouble with her wherever she goes.

Yes, the first book in this series and she brings the story to life. I will definately follow this narrator.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Here comes trouble worthy of TMZ

Any additional comments?

Even better than the first one

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would. I think this series will do VERY well once it catches on. Not quite as funny as Janet Evanovich or Darynda Jones but still really amusing.

Who was your favorite character and why?

A lot of really likable characters but I guess my fav is the main character, Sophia. The author does a great job of normalizing her (she's a former child actor) and one can't help but cheer her on.

Which scene was your favorite?

I think my favorite was when Mom came over and let herself in only to find daughter in bed with her 'booty-call dude' only to have him jump up in all his morning glory as others walk in. Sounds cheezy, but it was believable and funny.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Child actor now a 'detective' in training takes on rehab. ok, that's a terrible tag line but the best I can do right now.

Any additional comments?

I was quite excited to listen to this after enjoying the first in the series. Knowing the characters made the experience more enjoyable and it's always nice to get to know them better, or at least it is in well written books! Narrator is fab!

This 2nd Book is Full of laughs & entertainment!!

I read book 1 in this series and had been looking so forward to this sequel! If you haven't read book 1 yet, start there, because it will make book 2 even more enjoyable for you. I was given this second book for free by audiobook blast in exchange for an honest review.

This story continues by following Sofia as she juggles her private life & her professional life, which often times entangle and hilarity ensues. Sofia goes undercover at a rehab clinic to get insider info when an ex patient is found suspiciously dead. This is Sofia's toughest acting gig thus far, and listening to her internal dialogue as she gets into the mindset of "Drug addict Sofia" had me in fits of laughter. Trust me when I say this book will have you laughing and entertained the whole way through. I have such a fun time listening to this series, in huge part because of the wonderful narration by Madeline Mrozek. I am so excited for Book 3 to be made available on audible!
