About this listen

Sometimes one phone call is all it takes . . . Amber Reed is a newspaper admin assistant tasked with making up the horoscopes. Her imaginary predictions seem as close as she'll ever get to excitement - until a desperate phone call plunges her into the middle of a celebrity murder investigation.

Battling to convince the scarily handsome special agent assigned to solve the case that she can help him catch the killer, Amber's fighting something far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined - and it has nothing to do with the equally scary chemistry fizzing between her and special agent Charlie Huxton! Has Amber's wish for more excitement in her life landed her in big trouble, or is her fate written in the stars?

I want to say I enjoyed this book but for me it felt more like a love story than a mystery. There was so much tension and near or stolen kisses that I couldn't help but think just hurry up and get it over with so we can get back to the investigating. Which was a shame because I did like mystery and the characters - when they weren't falling in love. The idea was good and unusual having detectives only working on cases for the rich and shameless and I can see the author having a lot of fun with the series as it develops. I liked that Amber came at the case from a different perspective but I did think her column writing would have been made more of.
When her ex boyfriend turned best friend's brother is found dead, Amber is asked to shadow the private detective hired because he only trusts Amber. The police are keeping the death of a famous actors brother quite, so an investigation can be carried out without all the media and fans getting in the way. Can Amber and Charlie keep things quite and discover what he was doing in a quarry late at night and why he was found dead at the bottom of a put the next morning. The only way Charlie can get people to trust and talk to him is with Amber by his side acting as his girlfriend but is the columnist for the local paper a help or a liability?
I like the narrator. I have heard her read a number of books and she always manages to make them entertaining.

An investigator for the rich in the making
