We all need some fun in our reading lives!"— Sarah Can't Stop Reading #WannabeMrsSmit h Ex-celebrity and current (assistant) private investigator Maizie Albright finds her already strange life has become even odder. Her new partner is two hundred pounds and canine. And her ex-partner/still-boyfriend is on the wrong side of her infidelity case. It's Spy vs. Spy — or rather, Detective vs. Detective — when Maizie and Nash realize they're both tailing the same subject for very different reasons. Can Maizie out-investigate Nash to learn the secrets he’s probing into at her father’s company? Secrets she fears are much darker (and stinkier) than the secret DeerNose formula. Secrets possibly related to old rivalries and a recent murder. Her relationship is on the line, but it's more than her heart at stake. Her career rests on this case. And there’s a killer at large. One who will do anything to keep dark secrets from getting dragged into the light.
