A truly explosive mystery with a humorous face, this book will take you places you won't expect. In this 4th outing of the Gotcha Detective Agency, Mimi accepts cash for a one shot job to follow an unfaithful husband for just one morning. Everything about the request feels off, and boy is it. But, money is money and Mimi needs it. So against the advice of her team she accepts the assignment and thing blow up from there.

As an important issue running through the book, Mimi still hasn't told Nick that she either saw her late husband or dreamed it, and that uncertainty has serious implications in their relationship. That is, until she sees him again and she is wide awake!

I enjoy this series so much. Jaime Less Scott is an outstanding writer of lighter suspense. She offers enough humor to balance the serious issues Mimi, Nick, and her friends face. She once again develops a complex and gripping plot line. And the characters....awesome!

I started this series with hope. By the third book I was sorely disappointed. The mystery aspect isn't bad but ALL these characters are truly awful. They are written as pretetious., Snobby, condescending idiots
. Not a milometer of empathy or kindness between them.

Very Intriguing Characters and Plot

The Gotcha investigators have their hands full figuring out connections between the characters as well as the interactions of present and past. Some questions get answered.

I like the characters, and for the most part I like how they are developing. I also like the underlying mystery.

The way Mimi became involved in the mess was a little too thin. Why her? That was never really explained.

And the whole thing with Dominic? Don't buy it.

Not nearly as good as the prior books in this series. With every book, Nick and Mimi start back at square one with their relationship. No forward progress, just like this series.

This one had me guessing until the very end. Great wrap up with a great cast of believable and unforgettable characters. If you haven't started this series, you should!
