Ok, I love a good mystery, detective, police procedural. They are in my top two favorite genres. This kicked some serious booty. Forewarning: the book has some bad language, adult situations, etc, etc. It's not a kids book. It is a witty, smart ass, roller coaster from start to finish with a lot of snark mixed in. Sometimes that snark is a little too much, but I loved it. The PI is witty and a good guy. You just want to root for him all the way through. His friends are definitely his kind of people, and they all have that same poor taste in jokes and way too much adult humor (in all the right ways). The story line was believable and it was fun. I enjoyed the book so much, I added the rest to my wishlist, and I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out. I saw this, and even though I hadn't read the other books, I had to give it a try. I'm so glad I did, and yes, you can follow along easily without having read the others. This is a stand alone novel. I highly recommend this book, though I might suggest you don't read it in public if you have a tendency to laugh out loud. I got some serious side eye. Ha, ha, ha.

Being a limelight star can rise and fade quickly, she is on her way back when danger happens, Jarvis comes in to protect, and soon they both are facing danger, and she is kidnapped. A good.non stop adventure, enjoyed the narration. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
