When a friend of Sofia's mom finds herself the victim of blackmail, stuffy Aidan has to go undercover as an exotic dancer, much to Sofia's delight.

Can Aidan make it in the cutthroat world of male stripping? Can Sofia stop her mom getting too involved? Does whipped cream have fewer calories when it’s licked from a man’s naked torso?

E Is for Exposed - Literally

Sofia Salgado is funny. The Malibu Mystery series is funny. Sofia is investigating male strippers and blackmail. Sofia's mother enthusiastically joins the hunt for the blackmailer. Needless to say naked hunks and whipped cream are involved. I think this book can stand alone, but I think the books should be read in order for the full experience.
Madeline Mrozek is the perfect narrator.

"Expose" Yourself to Exposed!

"E" Is For Exposed: Malibu Mystery, Book 5 by Sean Black and Rebecca Cantrell, narrated by Madeline Mrozek takes you on an absolutely hilarious and adventurous ride through the world of strip clubs and blackmail. If you've read any of my reviews, you know I have a (slightly annoying) habit of not listening to books in a series in the order they are intended. Well, I did it again, but with this one I didn't spoil any of the fun for myself because it could be considered a stand-alone. :-) If anything, it made me more excited to go grab Book 1 and start at the beginning! The writing is fantastic! I felt like I was there, solving the case right alongside my new besties. The engaging plot and dialogue between characters had me laughing out loud throughout the entire book. Even secondary characters, such as the mom, had me rolling with laughter! Seriously, if the other books are as good as this one, I may have found my new favorite series!!

The perfomance by Madeline Mrozek is 100% outstanding! This is not my first time listening to her, but if it is yours, just know that you are in for a treat. She has an amazing ability of bringing stories and characters to life. If given the option to read a book or listen to it, 10 out of 10 times I would choose to listen if Madeline Mrozek is narrating. She doesn't just add to my overall listening experience...she MAKES the experience! She pulls you in with her first word and doesn't let go. Even now, after the book has ended, I can hear the characters still speaking. I think there are a lot of good narrators out there, but there are few who I would call great performers. Madeline Mrozek is a performer. I'm sure many of you will agree with me when I say she is a master and true professional in this field! ;-)

It is without hesitation that I rate "E" is for Exposed: Malibu Mystery, Book 5 by Rebecca Cantrell and Sean Black, narrated by Madeline Mrozek 5/5 stars across the board!! I assure you, it is entertaining and non-offensive. It had me laughing, heightened my mood, and made me feel like I, too, was a PI in training. I'm confident you will feel the same! With my next credit, I plan to purchase Book 1 and start my adventure with Maloney Investigations from the beginning. I highly recommend this audiobook to fans of the genre, as well as to those who appreciate good writing and outstanding performances!

Thank you for reading my review. I hope it was helpful. :-)

E" Is For Exposed
: Rebecca Cantrell, Sean Black


Sofia is back in the 5th book in this series. She and her investigative cohorts infiltrait a male strip show that blackmails women who partisipated in their shows. There is plenty of adventure and action to solve this case. Some parts were a bit too raunchy for my taste.

The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Madeline Mrozek.

A funny cozy mystery with a great narration

Investigator Sofia Salgado receives a call from her mum about a new case: one of her mother’s friends is blackmailed by a stripper, and this has to remain a secret.

I absolutely love cozy mysteries, and being this one narrated by Madeline Mrozek I couldn’t resist.

The story is very entertaining, and had plenty of hilarious moments and witty comments. This is the fifth in a series, but it can also be read as a stand alone, like in my case. The characters are really well portrayed, and they feel like real people.

Something that I liked is that there’s no romance in the the story, not even on a second plane. There’s a boyfriend, but it doesn’t play any major role in the story.

Madeline Mrozek delivered a 5-star narration, as usual. She made me believe I was listening to several different people, each with their own voice and style. Madeline is definitely among my favorite narrators.

I really enjoyed this audiobook and I will definitely give the other books in the series a try.

I received a copy of this book in audio format from the narrator in exchange for an honest review.

E is for Exposed

This is a super fun blackmail mystery. Sofia is new to the detective agency and lands her first case on her own. But she will have to bring in her bosses annoying son/her co-worker, Aidan in soon enough. Dealing with blackmailing male strippers and needing an inside man, Aidan is sent in. The waxing scene is so funny, and so is Sofia’s Mom. She adds that special touch to the book! Wonderful job on the narration by Madeline Mrozek!

The "Full Monty" for Stephanie Plum Fans

E is for Exposed is a laugh out loud book with tongue in cheek humor that is reminiscent of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. It's what I call "brain candy" - one can sit back, relax, and enjoy it without having to think too much about the plot or world issues.

The series centers around Sofia Salgado who is a former child TV star who used to solve mysteries on her show. Now as an adult, she is a trainee professional Private Investigator at Maloney Investigations. In this particular story, Sofia and her PI instructor, Aiden, are hired to look into the world of exotic male dancing after a friend of Sofia's mother is blackmailed after attending a show. The steps Aidan takes to go undercover as a male stripper are quite hilarious and will not be soon forgotten.

As she did with prior audiobooks in the series, Madeline Mrozek did a wonderful job narrating. She really brought the characters to life, using a variety of voices and giving each character their own distinct voice. Her smooth overtones and subtle character nuances made for a very enjoyable experience. I can't wait to listen to the next book in this amusing series!

Listening is such fun!

These books are great to listen to.. it’s like watching a movie in your head! The performance is once again flawless, the story fun and mysterious and I hated for it to end!

Joy !

A great easy on the brain detective story which includes sex, violence, mystery, twists plus funny, pretty much everything you'd want in a book like that.
If you are looking for a book to enjoy this is it.
Great performance.
Good story.
No reason that I can think of not to recommend this book.
