kidisitor's review against another edition
4.0
This is a complex mystery with some romance. In this particular story, Maizie (the Protagonist) as several men vying for her attention. Too bad she's not in her right mind to deal with any of them. She's already in trouble with her probation officer, her boss is unable to work and her job on the line, her Mother is driving her crazy with wedding details, she receives a not to pleasant surprise visitor, a client avoiding her, a missing person to find... her to-do list growing by the minute. Needless to say, she's not getting any sleep, and that's not helping her frame of mind.
The main characters are interesting, smart, funny.. and have complicated pasts. There is a lot of humor, mostly at the expense of Maizie. A lot of it self-deprecating. There are also some moments when you feel her heart ache. There is some mild violence. It's a busy story. Always lots going on. But don't worry, nothing you can't keep up with. As far as the mystery goes, there are a lot of questionable motives and actions by the characters. You may have suspicions but you will probably be a little surprised at the final outcome. There are also many different crimes happening at the same time, making Maizie's head explode. I will admit, the primary location of the mystery, and where most of the book takes place, was a little hard for me to visualize. It was confusing for me with all the different walls, fences, gaps and buildings. It didn't take away from the story, but it was hard to picture exactly how things were playing out during those particular scenes.
It is part of a series, but can be read as a stand alone without any problems. There is no sexual content, so it's a safe read as far as that is concerned. It's also safe in regards to language.
*I volunteered to review an ARC of this book.

While she is still in training to become a P.I., three desperate teenagers ask for Maizie help, and, as her boss is in a coma, she's on her own on this one.
Soon, things become very dangerous, and Maizie's capabilities and courage are tested.
Funny, with lots of suspense, action and even some romance, this is a great addition to the series and a wonderful read.
