Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. A pretty good mystery. I liked the characters. The story was good. I might have to go back and read some of the earlier books. It looks like a good story to follow Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. A fun mystery set in California with great characters and a good mystery to solve.Scammed is about a group of neighbors trying to solve the disappearance of their HOA Vice President and Treasurer shortly after the HOA had received several million dollars to fix the canals. I loved the colorful characters that formed this little group of detectives. There was Cami who own an advertising agency, an author who use to be with the FBI, a retired Colonel, Cami’s friend, Kate who runs Fraudbusters, an actor, and a real estate agent. The author wrote the characters so convincing that I wanted to join them every night to try to solve the mystery behind the disappearances. The writing was good and the story kept my attention throughout. An interesting tidbit; the author mentions on her web sight that she waited years to find the right book to kill off an HOA President that she had issues with in real life. Thank you to LibraryThing, Morgan St. James, and Marina Publishing Group for giving me the opportunity to review this book. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. An interesting mystery. Only downside was the frequent references to a previous book in the series. I think two thirds of those reference could have been removed without hurting the story. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I was expecting Scammed by Morgan St James to be a breezy, entertaining mystery from the title and the cover picture. I was mightily disappointed. The story is about the murder of a man and disappearance of his wife following an HOA meeting in upscale Venice Canals, CA. Neighbors meet every night to discuss the information they’ve found during that day that will help them solve the crime. They are essentially shallow beautiful people who constantly stop what little forward motion there is in the plot to order food from nearby restaurants, take bathroom breaks or change into designer jeans and stilettos. The name dropping is mind numbing. The crime turns out to be, of course, relevant to current societal problems but that doesn’t make the book interesting.This book seems to be part of a series. I doubt I’ll ever find out. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Life in the upscale Los Angeles area community of the Venice Canals takes an ominous turn when retired doctor Al Shady and his wife Barbara Shady, Vice President and Treasurer of the Venice Canals HOA, disappear after a meeting. The cops are on it, but looking in all the wrong places. What appeared to be home invasion and kidnapping turns out to be so much more including murder. Get ready for characters from different books in this series to come together to dig the dirt. As fate would have it, advertising agency owner Cameron Harson from GETTING EVEN and RIPOFFâ?? the first and second book in this seriesâ?? and former FBI agent turned author Danny Garrett from BUMPING OFF FAT VINNY, the fourth book, are neighbors who didn't know each other. A mutual friend and neighborâ?? 89-year-old retired Colonel Michael Thompson introduces them at an HOA meeting where the main focus was to celebrate the settlement of a multi-million dollar suit for construction default against developers who built mini-mansions and polluted the canals in the process. When the trio walks home together along Grand Canal, accompanied by the Colonel's aged Afghan Hound Clarence, something looks suspicious at the Shady home on the other side of the canal. They cross over the bridge to investigate and find the house door ajar, the house is in a shambles and the Shadys are missing. With their backgrounds in investigating crimes, they are tempted to see what they can uncover, but should they? With Cameron's friend Kate Steele, CEO of FraudBusters, who is visiting from San Francisco and Danny's friend, co-author and fellow sleuth Margaret Stanton, how can they resist? They delve into things that the cops won't, and they find plenty but in the process risk getting in the way of Federal agencies!
