I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and any opinions expressed herein are my own.
I am actually somewhere between a 3 and 3 1/2 stars. Parts of this story, I really enjoyed and parts started to grate on me a bit as the book continued. There is some really fun humor and the romantic tension was enjoyable. The premise of a former child star returning back to her hometown to become a PI is a great concept. I really enjoyed the tension between Maizie and her momager – who doesn’t want to leave Hollywood behind. What began to bother me about this book was the constant high fashion references and when Maizie declares herself separate from her TV detective character and wanting to leave it all behind but yet, she seemed to almost constantly be asking herself what would her TV detective character do in a situation – it just became a bit one note. Overall, it was an enjoyable light read.
The narrator, Joan Dukore, did a good job in a very light-hearted narration.
