As a young single parent, Mackenzie Elizabeth Taylor has struggled to provide for her teenage daughter. She finally catches a break when she inherits half of an apartment building in Boston from her uncle Al, along with his P.I. business. So what if she doesn't know the first thing about investigation or if their hot-but-crabby downstairs tenant is a police detective who's looking for any excuse to handcuff her? Her daughter, Mac the computer whiz, has her back. And these two girls don't know the meaning of the word quit - not even when their first case takes an unexpected turn.
The man Mackenzie's been hired to follow in a custody case seems to have upset more than just her client when she spies another person tailing him - a mysterious man Mackenzie would bet is up to no good. But when her mark suddenly winds up dead, and her first and only client is accused of his murder, Mackenzie vows to find the truth. Only one problem: she doesn't know where to start...or when to draw the line. Who is the mysterious man she spotted tailing the victim? Is he the killer? Is she in over her head, or will she uncover the secrets someone killed to keep hidden? Mackenzie and Mackenzie are on the case, and the world of private investigation will never be the same.

However, the overall book was fast-paced, filled with interesting people, and a story complicated and engaging enough to keep me interested throughout. A very nice mix and I found it hard to turn off, even when I needed to!
MacKenzie Taylor is a single mother of a teenaged daughter, Mac (named after herself), who inherits her uncle Al’s apartment house, car, and his private investigation business. She also inherits the tenants in the house, who quickly become part of the story.
So, based on Uncle Al’s collection of written comments on how to do PI work, she sets out to do it, and quickly lands in the middle of a murder case. Her daughter helps, and even her mother gets pulled in to assist here and there.
So if the author had various boxes to check when writing this, I’d say she largely succeeded. She invented a book full of varied and clever characters, has parallel stories going, plenty of action, love interest, good mystery....it’s all there, and comes together pretty well. I think in places she tried a little too hard on the humor (sometimes sounds a bit overdone and cliche) and I’m way past needing everybody to have hot love interests to enjoy a book (it can actually be a turn off when it feels too forced, which I thought it was here).
But overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this listen. I have already put the next one in the series in my wish list, and look forward to listening to it. I was a little surprised at how much fun it actually was to listen to! Hope your experience will be the same!
Despite my reservations--I loved it!
