Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Jennifer L. Hart comes the next nail-biting adventure of the hilarious mother-daughter Mackenzie & Mackenzie PI team!

Another day, another secret.

Novice PI Mackenzie Taylor is going stir crazy. Deep in the throes of a classic New England winter, the endless hours of following cheating spouses have left her feeling jaded and restless. Not to mention the emotional tug of war when the father of her teenage child suddenly starts hanging around and putting a major crimp in Mackenzie's fledgling relationship with the hot Detective Hunter Black. So when she's asked to help find a missing bride, Mackenzie jumps at the chance to do some good.

Juggling the missing persons case, two headstrong men, being a new landlord of a rundown building, and a 16-year-old daughter/BFF actually acting her age for once and crushing on a much older man has Mackenzie contemplating the upside of running away from home. Instead she throws herself into work. But the more dirt she digs up on the missing bride, the murkier the investigation becomes. Was it a simple case of post-wedding jitters or did the missing woman make a fatal mistake? And is Mackenzie about to follow her footsteps right into the clutches of a killer?

Great read

The story line kept my interest, loved the characters. I think the narrator added to the depth of the characters. Did a superb job. Would read a sequel for sure. Thumbs up to author.

Totally could not stop listening

It was funny and suspenseful yet had a twist around every turn. I can’t wait for another book!

couldn't stop listening

its a joy to listen to. I love the mother grandmother issues. the silent comments Mac makes about her mother are priceless, mother's and daughters there is always something you can relate to and laugh about.

I enjoyed it

I enjoyed this book especially since there wasn't a lot of sexual things in it and swearing. it kept my interest and kept me entertained

Excellent Story

This was such an awesome story with so much excitement and feeling. What great characters and narration was so great. I loved Hunters voice. I could picture him in my mind. The only problem is I need book 3. Thank you Jennifer and Suzanne. Well done!!!! JES

Great mystery!

Love this series! Love this author! This book is no exception! Great read with good characters and interesting storyline

I received a free copy and left my honest review

Excellent wit and suspense

I hope the author won't dip any further into creepiness. I'm enjoying the humor and character development and suspense. But if the plot goes further into creepiness (stalker) then I will look for another series that's more cozy and less creepy.

Great listen!

I really enjoy this series. Mackenzie & Mackenzie, Laundry Hag, and Damaged goods all cross over and are all pretty good. My favorites are M&M and LH. I am noticing some repeated themes since I am binge listening, but it doesn't matter. The characters are interesting, engaging, and funny. The mystery is enough to entertain, but not too complex forcing complete focus.

Perfect narrator for the snarky dialog

Good Sleuth & Mystery

They are back sleuthing again MacKenzie and Mac, giving us a good mystery with enough clues to hold us to the end. Her romance with Hunter sounds promising. Good story and good narration. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Series is a lot of fun

I read the first book in this series, with some reservations, because I thought it was going to be more suitable to people way younger than I am. To my surprise and delight, I loved it!

This one is just as good. Mackenzie Taylor and her mother inherited a small apartment house from an uncle, and Mackenzie and her computer-wiz daughter also decided to keep his private investigation business going. Along the way, the daughter’s father was revealed to her for the first time (I’m giving nothing away—this happened in the first book, and takes center stage in this one), so there is the tension of the mother-daughter duo learning to allow a third person in. Another person who is important, is one of the tenants, a policeman, whom Mackenzie falls for very quickly. But all of the characters are well-drawn, unique in their own way, and add to the plot nicely!

What is good—plot engaging, moves swiftly, and characters are fun and well-developed. I like most of the comedy, but think the author sometimes pushes a little too hard on it, and it occasionally comes across flat. But all in all, this is a good cozy mystery series—well written, well narrated, and a great listen that was hard to put down. Just what I like; hope you will too!
