Samantha True Mysteries #6
Dodged a Bullet
In a game of cat and mouse, always be the cat.
PI Samantha True is used to danger, but this time the stakes are higher than ever.
Sam’s new client, YouTube star Lora Darling is famous for breaking barriers as a female gamer. But fame has its price. Lora has a stalker, one who intends to see her dead. When Lora’s partner is poisoned and Lora is drugged, Samantha knows the stalker is closer than they ever imagined.
The gaming world isn’t all fun—and well, you know, games —it’s a multi-million-dollar cutthroat business. Throw in the meddling media, a sick father, and a contract killer and it’s just another Monday for Samantha True, PI. May cause spontaneous laughter.

About the author
Kristi Rose
52 books257 followersHey! I’m Kristi. I write romances that will tug your heartstrings and laugh out loud mysteries. In all my stories you’ll fall in love with the cast of characters, they’ll become old, fun friends. My one hope is that I create stories that satisfy any of your book cravings and take you away from the rut of everyday life (sometimes it's a good rut).
When I’m not writing I’m spinning (riding a stationary bike, repurposing Happy Planners, or drinking a London Fog (hot tea with frothy milk).
I’m the mom of 2 and a milspouse (retired). We live in the Pacific Northwest and are under-prepared if one of the volcanoes erupts.
Here are 3 things about me:
• I lived on the outskirts of an active volcano (Mt.Etna)
• A spider bit me and it laid eggs in my arm (my kids don’t know that story yet)
• I grew up in Central Florida and have skied in lakes with gators.
I’d love to get to know you better. Join my Read & Relax community and then fire off an email and tell me 3 things about you!

We're back with Sam and her complicated, dangerous life. I'm tempted to blame some of the complications and danger on her PI business, but, to be totally fair, I think both those things would be present even if she wasn't a PI thanks to her ex-sorta-husband and his bucket of lies.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of Carson. And if he messes things up between her and Leo I'm going to have some very angry eyes for a very long time.
Anywho. Sam's current case has her dealing with stalkers, poisoning, and a little case of murder. Not that anyone except Sam and her crew think it might be murder, but that's beside the point. Throw in a few instances of people trying to collect the bounty on Sam's head and she's dodging cars and bullets and just having an overwhelming week in general. And she still has to figure out what's going on with her client's case.
A little danger, a little scare with her father, an ex (sorta) who pops up at unexpected (and unwelcome) times, and a professional explosion that might very well turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Good stuff!

Another great Samantha True mystery with tiny bit of romance, mystery, murder and all the charming characters we have seen in the past.

Samantha just cannot catch a break. Between trying to keep her client alive and finding out who has a hit out on her, her days are nothing short of action filled.

Fast paced laugh out loud thrilling story that'll keep you from sleeping, but in a good way.
I absolutely love these books. Fast paced laugh out loud thrilling story. Started just before bed, planning on only to read for a half hour but next thing I know is that I stayed up 'til three in the morning to finish the book.

An absolutely amazing read
Samantha becomes embroiled in a case that has quite a few twists and turns. She gets shot at which isn't unusual for her. She also has a couple of car problems. I can't wait to read the next book. These books are just so good. I try not to do the spoiler thing even though it's hard as there is more I could say.

My 2nd book in this series, though not in order. However they are all stand alone with the same characters and easy to catch up on events that may happened in-between. As with the first I found it lighthearted and enjoyable, a great foil for reading between the the intense hard-core crime thrillers I normally read. Samantha True through this Author is very entertaining.

Loved It!
So worth the wait! I always enjoy finding out what mayhem and PI puzzles Sam and her merry band of friends, cohorts (and family) have gotten themselves into. Love the characters!

Dodged a Bullet! It was an enjoyable read. I know the characters now. I enjoy the lite mystery .
And funny dialogue. The characters are very like able. Hopefully there will be more books in this series. It's nice to sit back and just be entertained.

3.25⭐️ These Samantha True stories are funny and interesting. This time, in the midst of trying to get proof that a different PI her client had hired was wrong, Samantha was also being hunted with a hit out on her made this an exciting story to listen to.

4.5 stars This story was a little different for me, but fun just the same. What is next for Samantha True? Will there be a book 7?
