It was like those crazy detective novels he read as a kid?Fledging PI Zachariah Davies's wealthy and eccentric client, toymaker Alton Beacher, wants to hire an investigator who can pose as his boyfriend while figuring out who is behind the recent attempts on his life. And Zach, struggling to save the business his father built, is just desperate enough to set aside his misgivings and take the job.But it doesn't take long for Zach to realize all is not as it seems (and, given that it all seems pretty weird?). The only person he can turn to for help is equally struggling, equally desperate-but a whole lot more experienced-rival PI Flint Carey.Former Marine Flint has been waiting for Zach to throw in the towel and sell whatever's left of the Davies Detective Agency to him. Still, he's unwillingly attracted to the game but inexperienced accountant-turned-shamus, and can't help offering a helping hand when Zach runs into trouble.Especially when it's hard to imagine any worse trouble than having your client murdered.… (meer)

Talk about a messy and embarrassing break-up!
Zach, his mother and sister have inherited his dad's PI firm but are in financial trouble. Zach wants to hang on a while longer but the others aren't sure that they shouldn't just sell it to the one who has offered to merge it with his own struggling business. Then comes a really odd but wealthy client who plunks down a wad of money with some bizarre expectations. Lots of craziness, suspense, weird characters, and the ex from the pit, plus wild plot twists and unexpected red herrings. Fun!
I requested and received and EARC from JustJoshin Publishing, Inc. via NetGalley. Thank you! ( )

Puzzle for Two by Josh Lanyon

If a dime store detective novel mated with a cozy mystery this book might be the offspring – a bit slow to begin with but oh so sweet by the end. I am unsure if this is a one and done or perhaps the beginning of a new series. Either way – a fun way to spend the day.

What I liked:
* Zachariah “Zach” Davies: accountant, private investigator, brother, son, wants to keep his father’s business open, and has high hopes for the future.
* Flint Carey: private investigator, ex-marine, wants to buy the Davies business, might have a yen for Zach, more than meets the eye
* Brooke Davies: Zach’s younger sister, receptionist, has dreams that do not include college, bright and more capable than her brother thinks
* The mystery of who the murderer was and the reason for murder that finally was illuminated
* The creep-factor provided by Alton- the client who hired Zach
* The way the relationship between Flint and Zach developed and the potential they have for the future
* The feel-good ending

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about the motivations of some the characters and how amoral they must have been

Did I enjoy this book? Yes, but have enjoyed other books by this author more
Would I read more by this author? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
