Quick easy read, not particularly memorable. Read whilst I was ill

This story wasn't anything to right home about. I won't be continuing the series. There were many points where it didn't make since how Willa was getting the answers she wanted. Why people were opening up to her. A lot of the wrap up didn't see logical. Willas personal life, and life story was well laid out, and fun.

When Sergeant Wyatt Burke finds a fellow police officer dead he is assigned to find the culprit.
But all is not what it seems in the town of Uncertain.

Patrol officer of the SFPD patrol officer, Nick Christianson, is shown the body of a male in an alley behind a restaurant. When the detectives show little interest in investigating the case, he takes it upon himself to do so.
An interesting story

Mimi Capurro, ex-Secret Service and owner if the Gotcha Detective Agency is hired to guard writer Lauren Silke, from further assaults from her unhappy fans.
All this changes when they fund the decapitated body of Lauren's assistant at her home laid out as a copy of a scene from her latest book.

Four stars for light entertainment. Do not expect any depth or meaning. The pace and plot are good enough if you have a few hours to spare. The characters do the job.

Santa Cruz, a beach town, where you don't expect a group of role-playing vampires and werewolves on a Friday nigt.
From Monterey to Santa Cruz Gotcha Detective Agency searches for a killer - a killer who cut off the head of a young woman and left the head in the bowl on the dining room table of her boss gothic author Lauren Silke.
Some snark, a little romance, lots of shock! Ending with a twist I didn't see coming.

I love the Gotcha Detective Agency, and the people who work for it! They are all individuals, and vividly drawn. In an ongoing series, the supporting characters are vital, and these are great.

Mimi- our first-person protagonist- is interesting, too. She has an eye for a fine figure of a lad- but that's well i the tradition of male PIs distracted by "dames", so I enjoyed it.

The plot is something of a shout-out to Hamilton's vampire novels, and also vamp role-playing games. I'm not completely sure the overall solution made sense- the sword was not accounted for, for instance- but the overall read was fun.½

Decently put together mystery. I didn't guess the murderer before it was revealed. There are aspects of Scott's writing that I don't agree with so I probably won't read more in this series.

While the PI meets a Detective romantic twist isn't a new one, the authors use of role playing based on the PI's clients best-selling books made this a unique and fun read.

I received this novel from a GoodReads giveaway, this in no way affects the content of my review.

This novel follows Mimi Capurro, a former member of the Secret Service turned Private Investigator, as she investigates the murder of a bestselling author's personal assistant. There's only one problem though, her ex-boyfriend Nick is one of the police officers investigating the murder and he wants her to back off the case and let the police investigate. The investigation leads Mimi to a Vampire live role-playing game that is somehow connected with the murder, and it also leaves Mimi targeted by the murderer. Will Mimi break the case or will she be forced to leave it to the police?

I would give this a 4 and here is my explanation why. The characters were well-developed, the plot was interesting and some of the twists definitely surprised me. I did enjoy the complicated relationship between Mimi and Nick, and I enjoyed that the background of their relationship was laid out in detail. The one thing that I felt did detract from the story were some minor typos. I feel like this was a great start to a series and I would be interested in reading more about Mimi.
