SummaryMagic and murder bedevil Samantha Shaw, the spunky owner of
Heart Mates Dating Service, in the fifth installment of
Apodaca's delightful light mystery series (Batteries
Required, etc.) set in Lake Elsinore, Calif. Performer Shane
Masters is revealing the secrets behind magic tricks in his
"spoiler shows," which are upsetting many magicians,
including Barney Webb, Samantha's grandfather. This is a
tense moment in Samantha's life as well, as she and her
boyfriend, ex-cop and PI Gabe Pulizzi, are moving their two
businesses into the same office. But the conflicts caused by
the office construction, Gabe's irritating brother and her
own anxiety about getting her PI license take a back seat
when Samantha's grandfather is accused of hiring a hit man
to kill Shane Masters. The discovery of the Shane's body
pulls Samantha into a life-threatening investigation that
calls her PI aspirations into question. But her devotion to
her grandfather outweighs all risks, and slowly she's able
to put the puzzle pieces together. This hard-to-put-down
cozy will please committed fans and attract new ones.
