Summary

FBI agent Cookie James is enjoying her extended leave from the agency on Secret Seal Isle, managing her quaint inn, and flirting with the oh-so sexy-handyman, Dylan Creed . . . until her 60-year-old mother goes skinny dipping and is almost drowned by a corpse.

A phone call to the sheriff should mean the end of Cookie’s involvement, but when it’s clear the sheriff has no interest in the investigation, Cookie calls in reinforcements - her ex-partner Hunter O’Neil.

Suddenly it’s like old times while the pair questions the residents of Secret Seal Isle. Except it’s not. Now she has both Hunter and Dylan vying for her attention, a wayward hippy mother, and a potential killer on the loose. With her love life heating up, her mother lighting up, and all signs pointing to the most unlikely suspect, Cookie does the only thing she knows to do - focus on solving the case.

Audio’s not great

This recording isn’t the best quality but it didn’t really affect my enjoyment of the book. However, I did deduct a star because of this AND that there are so many characters introduced at one point it became really hard to follow. The story is enjoyable and the characters are interesting- especially the mother. It was okay, but I’m not planning on paying out for other audios from the series, but I will read the kindle editions.

Entertaining and engaging, if fairly lightweight

Not a bad introduction to a series of (presumably) not-quite official investigations involving an FBI agent laying low from the mob, and I enjoyed Traci Odom's narration.

Entertaining collection of characters, which I suspect will grow with the series, and who will be involved in different ways, and with a potential competition for her attention from two men, one with a mysterious past.

This would make an entertaining "not-very-serious" TV show.
