De: Larissa Reinhart

Narrado por: Joan Dukore

IS IT CONSIDERED STALKING YOUR BOYFRIEND IF HE'S INVOLVED IN YOUR MURDER INVESTIGATION? (ASKING FOR A FRIEND)
Turner & Hooch meets Mr. & Mrs. Smith in the eighth book of The Wall Street Journal bestselling Maizie Albright Star Detective series. For listeners who like quirky characters, funny fast-paced plots, and amateur sleuthing heroines who earnestly agonize over (but not between) murder and marriage.

"Fans of humorous mysteries like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, and Elle Cosimano's Finlay Donovan should pick up this series. We all need some fun in our reading lives." — St. Louis Librarian Sarah, Sarah Can't Stop Reading

#WannabeMrsSmith Ex-celebrity and current (assistant) private investigator Maizie Albright finds her already strange life has become even odder. Her new partner is 150 pounds and canine. Her ex-partner/still-boyfriend is on the wrong side of her infidelity case. So it's Spy vs Spy — or rather, Detective vs Detective — when Maizie and Nash realize they're both tailing the same subject for very different reasons.
Can Maizie out-investigate Nash to learn the secrets he’s probing into at her father’s company? Her relationship is on the line, but it's more than her heart at stake. Her career rests on this case. And there’s a killer at large. One who will do anything to keep dark secrets from getting dragged into the light.

"Maizie's my new favorite escape from reality." — Gretchen Archer, USA TODAY bestselling author of the Davis Way Crime Caper series.

"The banter between Maizie and her besties is witty and always a delight, and the plot moves swiftly along and proves to be extremely grounded and compelling. When Maizie and Nash work together they are an unstoppable and extremely effective detecting duo no matter how much their styles may differ." — Oahu Librarian Cynthia Chow, Kings River Life Magazine

19 Criminals

What a fun book! I love all the craziness. I'm looking forward to the next one. Lots of great characters.

A New Partner in Crime…Detecting!

Give me a story about a girl and her dog and I’m immediately hooked. In this installment of the Maizie Albright series, Maizie has to share the spotlight with her new partner in crime…detecting. He’s a partner that she doesn’t want, but she does need to help her through this newest adventure. It’s a tale (or tail) with twists and turns and keeps you guessing right up until the end! The supporting characters add humor and history to the story as Maizie continues to grow from a teenage tv star to a star detective. I’m looking forward to the next book. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Maizie.

Joan Dukore really brings the characters and story to life! She does a wonderful job of capturing the humor in her narration.

I received a free copy from the author, but my review is honest and voluntary.

Lots of mystery

I enjoyed the story once it got going. It took a few chapters but then got very involved with loads of characters and twists.

Entertaining Character Rich Funny Cozy Mystery

Rich in entertaining characters, including a huge lovable mutt, this is a delightful cozy mystery romp with a lead detective who is a former child actress. Well performed narration with a well edited script and distinctly different character voices.

Larissa Reinhart writes an intricate, fast-moving storyline with VERY well-developed characters. This installment finds Maizie still working at A.S.S. (Albright Security Solutions) and is feeling typecast as honey trap bait while Nashville is working at DeerNose as a security expert, trying to uncover DeerNose secrets. The secret he is trying to uncover (and keep from Maizie) unfortunately crosses paths with the mystery that Maizie finds herself enmeshed. You have to read to find out: Where is the very last place Maizie expects to find Nash's Silverado hidden? Which of the seven deadly sins does Maizie think Boomer is guilty? Which female does Maizie spy Nash eating pancakes with at the Waffle Haus late at night? What is a bullmastiff and why is it have the name Cuddles, and why is it eating a car? Joan Dukore is excellent as narrator and brings Maizie to life. I love this series!
