It was a day like any other day for Marina Trahan...until she caught her husband in bed with another woman. Before that eye-opening wake-up call, Marina would have described her life as average or uneventful, maybe even boring. But now, chaos and confusion reign supreme. She’d expected to slide through midlife with her unwanted extra pounds, chin hair, and hot flashes and move somewhat gracefully into elastic-waist pants and having no verbal filter.

Melissa Craig is absolutely delighted with her new life in an old crumbling cottage, spending her days pruning the primroses and getting to know Binkie, the ginger cat next door. She only wishes she had made the move to the countryside sooner. But when a knock at the door brings news of a shocking discovery, she suddenly finds herself thrown in to the middle of a baffling mystery: the bones of a young woman have been found in the woods just behind her new home. Perhaps the little village of Upper Bembury is not as idyllic as it first seemed? Strange phone calls in the night convince Melissa that the police are barking up completely the wrong tree, so she can’t resist doing a little digging of her own. From the bingo hall to the beauty salon and beyond, her search ruffles a few feathers and uncovers many of the village’s most scandalous secrets, but gets her no closer to finding the culprit.

Publisher's Summary
USA Today bestseller
Maggie Thomas doesn't know the first thing about being a private eye. She quickly discovers that running her uncle's faltering Miami Beach P.I. agency is nothing like watching detective show reruns. Even the private eye app on her iPhone can't help.
But Maggie's first case is surprisingly easy...or so she thinks until she stumbles upon a dead body. With whizzing bullets, car chases, and spandex-clad bodybuilders, Maggie wonders if she's in over her head. Jake Jackson, the dangerously charming cop, thinks Maggie needs to stick to snapping pictures of cheating husbands and leave the detective work to the professionals.
The danger escalates when another homicide victim washes up on the shore and now someone wants to stop Maggie from solving the murders. With the help of her knitting needle-wielding, orthopedic shoe-wearing assistant Dorothy Raye, Maggie must solve the case before she's the next victim of this crime wave.

An entertaining cozy PI
The narrator did a wonderful job bringing this mystery to life. While there was an abundant use of the word “said,” overall, Crime Wave was a fun, easy listen. The ending did feel a bit rushed and underwhelming, but Maggie and Dorothy have great chemistry, reminiscent of Jana Deleon’s Miss Fortune series. I would listen to the sequel!

Terrible.
The story was boring and predictable. Although, I suppose it did surprise me a little. I expected it to be good and it wasn't. Surprise! I listened to this on Kindle Unlimited, so I didn't have to use a credit. Good thing. I would have returned it! The ending was even terrible. There are few books that actually make me want to stop reading them immediately. Usually, I cannot put a book down until I am done with it-even if the story is less than engaging. Unfortunately , I did not have the data available (on my phone) to download another book, so I listened to this. The story was terribly anticlimactic and quite frankly, boring. I was actually checking the time left on the book to see when it would be over.
This book was listed under "humor" and I still have no idea why. It wasn't even slightly amusing . I will not listen to anything by this author or narrator again.

Chick Flick with a subtle edge
Well this story is about Maggie whose uncle has died and she makes a decision to take over his tired looking detective agency. She inherits her uncle’s assistant Dorothy who is much older but for me she is my favourite character due to her ballsy no nonsense attitude and quick quips I found hilarious. Her insistence to go along with Maggie to hunt the bad guys whilst ferociously knitting away or clacking away as Maggie would put it so funny. Maggie is hoping to learn as the job goes on finds herself learning very quickly.
Maggie gets her first case a case of a husband suspecting his wife of having an affair and all he needed was the evidence. This case seems very straightforward on paper to Maggie but it turns out to be anything but. As Maggie starts her investigations she meets Jake a detective and there is an obvious attraction but I am so glad the story didn’t end up focusing on their attraction even though their paths crossed many times as their cases started to overlap. This is a story of infidelities, murders and so much more.

Abrupt ending
Good story but the ending came suddenly and had to listen to
the details of who did what to who and why several times to work
it all out.
The story became more about the main characters rather than the
mystery of what was happening.
