About this listen

Historical cozy mystery set in Los Angeles, CA, in 1926.

Mercy Allcutt, Boston Brahmin, wants to experience life in all its grittiness. How better than by working for a down-on-his luck PI in Hollywood? Once she discovers what PI actually stands for, she knows Mr. Ernest Templeton is the boss for her.

Raised in the ivory tower of proper Boston, when well-bred Mercy gets a job with Ernest Templeton, Private Investigator, she's ecstatic. Ernie, a jaded ex-cop, is incredulous. Together, they must cope with a stray child, kidnapping, blackmail, murder, a toy poodle, a vamp, a stalker, Mercy's overactive imagination and Ernie's strong protective streak. Throw in a speakeasy, Chinatown, and a couple of down-and-dirty criminals, and Mercy and Ernie are in for a drama that will put the motion picture industry to shame...if they can survive long enough to tell the story.

I have already listened to 3 books in this series and then I found this one and saw it was the first in the series. So because I have enjoyed the other books I knew I had to download this one to listen to. This book lets us see how Mercy ended up in the employment of Ernie Templeton P I. It also takes us into the first case they end up working together. This is a series I am enjoying so much because the relationship between Ernie and Mercy is so funny, he is a smart mouthed ex-cop and she is a Boston Debutante that wants to become a writer. I would encourage you to give these books a try, I don't think you will regret it!
I received a free code for this book from Audiobooks Unleashed to listen to on Audible. this review is my own honest opinion.

A great beginning to a great series!
