Great fun and well plotted
13 Jun 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This series has Texan heiress Abby Rose as its "detective." Abby is not living off her inheritance, though -- she has started a detective agency specializing in adoption searches (she was herself adopted -- see first book in the series) and wants to help other people in her situation. She lives modestly (drives a Camry) and her boyfriend is a Houston Police Department homicide detective. She has a twin sister with whom she gets along very well and an aunt who is her polar opposite.
The plot in this book involves a 19 year old basketball star who is looking for his birth family. Abby gets a call from the woman who had been the person who had found the baby abandoned on her doorstep 19 years ago. But before she can speak to this rather odd woman again, the woman is murdered (not giving anything away, this is the first ten pages). Abby is convinced that this is related to the adoption search but her boyfriend isn't so sure. Still, he agrees to let her pursue the adoption search as long as she doesn't interfere in the police investigation.
The key seems to be discovering who the parents were and how did the baby end up on this woman's doorstep -- she wasn't an obvious choice.
I read this book in one day and particularly enjoyed the good plotting and likable "detective." I look forward to reading more in this series.

Adoption and Murder
15 Mar 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Abby Rose is a PI specializing in adoption. She's also a Texas heiress.
Will Knight hires her to find his birth family. He's now a superstar college athlete, but once he was a baby abandoned on a doorstep.
There aren't many clues to his background, just an expensive baby blanket and Verna Mae, the woman who found him.
Abby meets with Verna Mae. She feels she knows more than she is telling. But before they can meet again, Verna Mae is murdered.
Abby is determined to find the truth. She follows the clues from the Huntsville state prison to the richest parts of Houston. Someone feels she's asking too many questions. Can she discover the truth without being silenced?
I really like Abby Rose. She is such a fun and likeable character. She is well written. This is a quick and enjoyable cozy to read! The Texas setting really lends itself to the story, and I highly recommend this book.

enjoyable
23 Feb 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really like this series. Its not rocket science, but the characters are amusing and the plotline usually keeps me guessing. I find it a pleasant, easy, enjoyable read. Some mystery, some comedy and some romance...but not so much that there's "breasts heaving" or "loins aching with desire". If you want that, check elsewhere.
