Female Investigator drama.

Where does Scottsdale Heat rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I think that Laura Black is a very good investigator and if she was a police officer would have quite a high rank. Among the books of this genre that I have read, she would come fairly high on the list.

What did you like best about this story?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book it was really well written and had a good plot Much of it was extremely amusing and made me laugh a lot. However, there was also a lot that was serious and very exciting as well. There was just enough romance to balance the story out and it fitted in well with everything that was going on. There is also plenty of scope for a series to follow on from here. I am sure it could be really good and expand on the themes already set in this first book.

OK.

This was an OK listen but not the sort of thing I would look for again. The story was steady and failed to excite me, I probably only finished it as I'd promised a review. Too much focus on jumping in and out of bed and not enough action of the other kind. Narration was fine and carrried an overall underwhelming story.
I was kindly given a copy of the book and leave this honest review.

Things are heating up

This is the first book by this author that I have listened to or read and I did enjoy it but wish it wasn't so focussed on most of the females trying to get a man in to bed, any man. They just seemed desperate, were as I think the author was trying to go for funny, think Stephanie Plum. I wouldn't call it a romantic adventure because there is no romance. Otherwise I did like it. The characters (when they weren't thinking about sex, whic okay might be hard to do when a lot of the story takes part in a strip club) were fun and made for a good team, if slightly quirky. The mystery was interesting with plenty of characters and a few humours moments. I think I will check out the next book in the series, just to see how things develop.
Laura Black works as a private investigator for a law firm. One of the wealthy clients is worried her grandson might have got himself into trouble and hires her to follow him and find out why he has money when he just quit his job. He leads her to a strip club where it seems he is dating one of the dancers but she isn't the only one following him. Then he disappears and Laura finds a dead body in his home. Is he on the run of did the men following him catch up to him? Laura gets into a shot out with the two Russians who were following him, so if they don't have him who does? When Tough Tony DiCenzo men pay her a visit her simple case gets a lot more complicated and deadly. Everybody is looking for Alex or more importantly what he took. So just who is going to find him first?
I liked the narrator. I have heard a few audio books read by her and she always puts in a good performance.
