About this listen
Daisy Dunlop thinks "heir hunting" is a perfect career. Too bad she has to work with her husband's best mate, Irish PI Solomon Liffey. They've barely spoken since he took her husband Paul's request to keep her safe far too literally and handcuffed her to the kitchen sink.
Solomon has no interest in babysitting a new partner, especially this one. The woman's a bleedin' liability. She has no concept of danger and could flirt for England at the next Olympics. As if that isn't bad enough, she has a habit of sticking her nose where it's not wanted, including into Solomon's very private life.
Determined to keep Daisy safely out of his way, Solomon sets her the task of finding a missing lord. Her investigations land her in the middle of his case. Bullets fly, bombs explode, and the body count rises. When Solomon goes missing, the tables are turned. Now it's his life that is in Daisy's hands, and she has two missing men to find before it's too late.

Story3 out of 5 stars 7
I'm stuck on a murder case with my ex-girlfriend. Fate's giving me a second chance I never wanted… Olivia’s smart, sassy, and the best police officer in the department. She is a whirlwind of passion and mystery, with a body that could tempt a saint. We clash like thunder and lightning, but when we're in sync, it's like a symphony. As we dig deeper into the murder case, I can't help but admire the way her body curves in all the right places.

Exactly who was the mysterious stranger who caught Joanna's eye and instantly had such an incredible effect upon her senses? On holiday with her twin brother Paul, she was minding her own business, sipping an iced drink in the lovely old town of St. Malo, when the impertinent blue stare of a rather disreputable looking busker totally unnerved Joanna. She tried to flee from him, but fate decreed they should meet again, in circumstances where she felt forced into giving him aid.

I wasn't ready to be president of an MC like Iron Tzars, but my father left me little choice. I grew up in the club. At 29, most of the men still see me as no more than a kid. But my daddy taught me well. I tolerate no disloyalty or disrespect and always put the club first. Then I met Iris. She's a heap of trouble in a small package and she pings my radar from the moment I first lay eyes on her. I know she's going to be mine—which means she has to trust me to take care of her. But Iris trusts no one when it comes to her sister. With both of them in danger, I now have to make a decision.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

British humor DEFINITELY included!
Would you consider the audio edition of Lost Cause to be better than the print version?
I would enjoy either copy, but prefer the audio edition because I love being able to listen to my books while I do other activities around the house. Also, the narrator did such a wonderful job portraying all the characters, it made listening to the book that much more of a pleasure.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
I thought Daisy was hilarious, and she kept me wondering what madcap reply would break free from her lips next. I'll admit I didn't expect things to turn out the way they did in the end when I first started reading this book, but I enjoyed the journey just the same.
Which scene was your favorite?
I really loved the duologue between Daisy and Solomon throughout this novel...I found the different slang and quips made by each (and toward each other) so amusing all through the book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I got a little choked up every time Solomon mentioned how much Paul cared about Daisy, or during any cut-scene where Paul was expressing his concern for Daisy's safety. I suppose I can be a bit mushy when it comes to matters of the heart.
Any additional comments?
There was never a dull moment with Daisy at the wheel...she's definitely enigmatic, to say the least, and I look forward to reading more books in this series to see how she grows and develops from this point on.

Funny. Flirty.
What an enjoyable read/listen! Great characters. Funny. Flirty. Faithful. Grumpy. Mysterious. Even violent. A cozy mystery you won't want to put down. A sassy, flirty Daisy who is faithful to her husband. An attractive grumpy PI, Soloman. Love their banter.
I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. The narrator presents this book wonderfully. A British accent easily understood. Told with emotion. Even her male voices work for me. 5 stars for her as well.

Fun amatuer mystery
The audiobook narrator was a perfect fit for this story. I enjoyed the cosy mystery/amateur detective/light and fun feel. It was refreshing to read a story that focussed on the mystery and didn't get complicated by a romance thread. I kept expecting it to turn romantic, which would have disappointed me as the heroine claimed to be happily married. Thankfully, she remained happily married to the end, though got herself caught up in all manner of problems on the way.

I did not want to love Daisy.
Sadly, by the third chapter, that became impossible. Finally a heroine who does not spend all the time agonizing. And fuuny! DO NOT READ OR LISTEN TO THE FINAL CHAPTERS WHILE DRINKING., your clothing might get wet.
I snorted out loud several times. Light checky book. As soon as I finish this review I'm getting the next one.

fun
I really enjoyed this story. The narrator was very good, full of emotion and kept the story entertaining. I laughed out loud numerous times. I liked all the main characters and Daisy's son was wonderfully written, very believable. The story flowed well and all was tied together well.
I received a free audible version from StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Great Series Starter
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes
What other book might you compare Lost Cause to and why?
Maybe the Stephanie Plum series..It is a fun read with wonderful cast of characters and Daisy does not like to do what she is told gets her into some trouble spots
Which scene was your favorite?
There were so many but what made me laugh out loud the most was toward the end when daisy was trying to save the day - it was dark - and shots fired and things ..thown
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Finding out the connection between the two best mates
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to the next in the series! I liked the narrator for this as well although I did not particularly like the voice she did for PHAT Kitty. I did buy the next in the series only I may not have time to read it. I am hoping the audio version comes out very soon. I am hooked to this new series. I was not sure I was going to like it at first but it pulled me in quick and I finished it within two days - if life hadn't gotten in the way I would have finished sooner :). Please keep this series going I am looking forward to Daisy and her world and what trouble she finds herself in.

AWESOME
This is an incredibly interesting and entertaining mystery. Daisy is smart, capable and determined to become an heir hunter. Her husband hopes his best friend will dissuade her of this new occupation. I was really surprised that I liked this book. I was drawn into it immediately. The witty dialogue and engaging plot kept me listening. I listened for an entire day of housework and running errands and never got bored. I can't wait to start on the next one.

An interesting read full of mystery and humor
I received this audio for the return of a honest review.
At first, it was difficult to 'get into the book' as it seemed to drag on in the beginning. Then as soon as Crazy Daisy and Sexy Solomon started to develop their weird, chemistry-fueled relationship, I was invested in its ending.
I love the storyline, the characters, the mystery and intrigue. What gives this book its extra 'kick' is the wonderful relationship between Daisy and her husband Paul. They do, indeed, have a sexy sex life. Daisy's quirks and mishaps add humor to the story, thus giving readers something to look forward to. Daisy makes you root for her as her need and desire to be a great investigator, her antics and near-miss escapades only adds to the book's overall, wonderfully written book by JL Simpson.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a mystery, combined with humor, danger, and a little bit of sexual heat thrown in for good measure.
Sometimes it was rather difficult to understand Mary Phillip's voice, as she is British, and I am an American. When Daisy was talking to the female character/singer, I found it very hard to understand exactly what was being said. Other than that, Mary did a fantastic job narrating this story.
