Although I didn't read the first book in this series, it was easy to get into the swing of things with the main characters and their interactions. Jamie Bond has joined her father's detective agency, mostly working on proving or disproving cases of infidelity for concerned spouses. Her friend, ADA Aiden is currently prosecuting a murder case against a corrupt cop when his department finds evidence that the gun used in this case also was involved in the near fatal shooting of Jamie's father three years prior. Although her father refuses to talk about this, she starts her own investigation, looking for any and all possible links. The story also features some of her other ongoing investigations, including one they need to conduct at a nudist colony. The story is told at a good pace, keeping the reader involved, sometimes with humor, sometimes with emotion, with a nice twist at the end. Her relationships with Aidan and one of her friends and coworkers, Danny, is left to explore in future novels. Disclosure: I was provided with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Netgalley and Gemma Halliday for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.Cute and funny. This is an entertaining read whether you've read any of the other Gemma Halliday books or not. While I've purchased several of Ms. Halliday's books I still have yet to read them. But not for any particular reason, just so many books to tackle.In any case, this book is well written and enjoyable. The characters are introduced and described so that you get to know them and look forward to what happens next.This is a quirky, intriguing book and I had to LOL several times over the situations that take place. The plot begins by taking you down one road and thickens by turning down another. It develops with a few side stories and eventually culminates into the ending that will have you satisfied with a good story and wanting more. I felt each emotion for the characters and crossed my fingers a few times.If you're looking for a suspenseful read that will make you laugh over and over again and care about the characters, then definitely get this book.
