What is this book about?
Miss Daphne Beekman is a mystery writer by day, inquiry agent by night. Known for her ability to puzzle out plots, she prefers working behind the scenes for the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency, staying well away from danger. However, Daphne soon finds herself in the thick of an attempted murder case she’s determined to solve.
Mr. Herman Henderson is also a mystery writer, but unlike the dashing heroes he pens, he lives a quiet life, determined to avoid the fate of his adventurous parents, who perished on an expedition when he was a child. But when he experiences numerous attempts on his life, he seeks out the services of the eccentric Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency to uncover the culprit. All too soon, Herman finds himself stepping out of the safe haven of his world and into an adventure he never imagined.
As the list of suspects grows and sinister plots are directed Daphne’s way as well, Herman and Daphne must determine who they can trust and if they can risk the greatest adventure of all: love.
My review:
I laughed. I sighed. I just found my new favorite book by this author. I don’t even know where to begin with this review because I sincerely loved all of it. There was romance, mystery, suspense, funny situations, and wonderful characters.
Starting with Daphne, who I met in the first book of this series, I was so intrigued by her character and I so enjoyed getting to know her better. She was innocent, kind hearted, and despite her problem with swooning, managed to be truly courageous.
Daphne meets Herman. I must say that his name did not make me think of a dashing hero at first and yet he was one by the end. He enlists the help of the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency because he believes someone is trying to murder him, but he was definitely no shrinking violet.
Did I mention that they were both writers? If I wasn’t already interested in the story, the addition of their author lives would have pulled me in.
Sparks fly immediately upon their first meeting and the attraction never left the page no matter what circumstance they were in. Add to that, a mystery and some suspense, and this was quite a well-rounded story.
This author always pens the most unusual situations and to my delight they made me laugh and giggle out loud probably making those around me wonder if I’d lost my senses. 🙂 Wonderful job.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
I can’t pinpoint one thing. I loved all of it.
What I didn’t like about this book:
Nothing.
Would I recommend this book to others? Absolutely. Wonderful characters, well matched hero and heroine, mystery, suspense, quirky friends, laugh out loud situations, and most of all romance. This book has it all. This is the second book in this series and it can be read as a standalone.
Note: I received this book complimentary as a member of the author’s launch team. I was not required to give a positive review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are honest and my own.
