A late-night call is all it takes for rookie lawyer Corrie Locke to kiss her day job at the movie studio goodbye, and do what she does best: flex her sweet P.I. skills and go undercover to find a senior who’s missing from a posh retirement community. One small stumbling block: skirting past security to gain inside access to the exclusive Villa Sunset. Time to call in the heavy artillery. Besides former security guard turned legal assistant—now wannabe P.I.—Veera, Corrie relies on a secret weapon: her mother, a surprisingly eager addition to Corrie’s team. Armed with enough pepper spray to take down a band of Navy Seals, Mom impersonates a senior to infiltrate the Villa, Corrie and Veera in tow. Turns out the job’s not as easy as they’d thought. These seniors have tricks tucked up their sleeves and aren’t afraid of using them.
The action gets dicey when the missing senior case turns into attempted murder by a criminal mind who’s always one step ahead. Corrie’s hot on the trail, but finds more than she bargained for…when her mother becomes a target.
REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
Welcome to another adventure with Carrie and Veera. These two are a hoot to follow so I was eager to dive right in. This time they have to find a missing senior who lived in one of those posh retirement places. It is not as easy as it sounds though as it is tough to gain access. This has never stopped these two though so off they go to figure out what happened. Makes for a great who done it as it all plays out. Sure yo he enjoyed by cozy fans. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
