Miss Daphne Beekman is a mystery writer by day, inquiry agent by night. Known for her ability to puzzle out plots, she happily works behind the scenes for the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency, staying well away from danger. However, when Mr. Herman Henderson arrives on the doorstep of the agency, desperate for someone to investigate numerous attempts on his life, Daphne soon finds herself in the thick of a case she's determined to solve.
Mr. Herman Henderson is also a mystery writer, but unlike the dashing heroes he pens, he prefers living a quiet life, determined to avoid the fate of his adventurous parents, who perished while searching for the Lost City of Gold.
As the list of suspects grows and sinister plots are directed at Daphne, the situation quickly deteriorates, and a revealed secret jeopardizes their newfound affection. Only time will tell if Daphne will be able to regain Herman's trust and save both their lives.
My thoughts:
Just when I think Jen
Turano can’t possibly make me giggle throughout another one of her novels, she
proves me wrong. Her writing never fails
to bring me hours of entertainment, her adorable, loveable characters are
guaranteed to keep me turning pages as fast as I can. In this book, Daphne Beekman is a mystery
writer by day, inquiry agent by night and she is my new favorite character
crafted by Ms. Turano. That is subject to
change as soon as the next book in the series is released, it’s not that I’m
fickle, it’s just that I know this author keeps getting better all the time.
The secondary
characters are all fun to get to know, too.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this book, and read the first
one in the series if you have a chance.
I received a
complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
