Summary

Hollywood is full of secrets, which means LA detective Kacey Chance is never short on work.

Kacey's new assignment involves a top film executive known for his mind-bending plot twists. Kacey's job is to find out what other secret twists the executive is hiding. 

This job takes Kacey far away from the comfort of the office, and gives her a chance to use her clever detective tricks to gain access to off-limits locations. There are no limits to what she'll do to solve this case.

But when she finds herself trapped in a very tight space, Kacey has to ask herself: Have I gone too far?

Kacey and the hilarious Booker family work together (sort of) to uncover mind-bending secrets in Background Checks and Balances.

There are plenty of laughs and tons of twists in this feel-good cozy mystery from author Maisie Dean!

No graphic violence, sex, or swearing.
This clean, easy listen is perfect for lunch breaks or relaxing at the end of the day! 

Background Checks and Balances is a stand-alone, complete novel you can listen to on its own.

Witty, hilarious BUT....

This was the first audiobook narrated by Marie Hoffman that I’ve listened to, she did a great job narrating the story. Her voice really brought the characters to life.

Background Checks and Balances wasn’t quite what I was expecting, I was expecting a cozy murder mystery or a who dunnit and due to this I kept expecting the story to pick up the pace. The characters are entertaining and likeable (really likeable).

A fun story

Another cute story in the series. The Booker brothers are just as charming and Kacey is still funny and getting into lots of scrapes. I enjoy the humour in the series and the gentle mysteries that Kacey has to solve.
This is an entertaining story and I have really enjoyed listening to the series.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reading audio copy.
