Private Deception

A Jade O'Reilly Mystery

By: Tamara Ward

Narrated by: Julie Hoverson

Sassy private investigator Jade O'Reilly thinks she's hit rock bottom when, in the midst of obtaining photos of a cheating spouse in a second-story apartment, she falls off a swing set to the feet of an attractive mystery man. But the next day, when Jade discovers the man's identity - he's a detective with the local Sweetwater, NC, police - she learns that the cheating spouse was murdered and Jade herself is a suspect. Rock bottom just got a new definition.

fun and amusing

A great start (for me, anyway) to a new series. Jade is an interesting P.I. who is funny, intelligent and makes mistakes like a real person. Mack, her antithesis and frankly a scene stealer, is a fantastic addition. She has to work alongside him without killing him which makes for a few really funny forays. Narration was very good - ideal voice for Jade.
I was gifted this audio book in exchange for an honest review.

Suspense and Humor..

Any additional comments?

Jade O'Reilly, the female lead and private investigator is on a cheating husband assignment.

The husband ends up murdered and Jade is a suspect.

Jade thinks that the detective on the murder case is hot and she ends up head over heels at his feet, literally.

Jade was a strong, smart, funny lead.

The characters were written well, the book has humor and suspense that keeps the reader guessing to the very end. .


Julie Hoverson did a good job with the narration.
