Mac Reilly is a PI with a penchant for lost causes. One night in Malibu, he comes to the rescue of a distraught woman holding a gun in the doorway of a fabulous beach house. When the woman disappears and the gun shows up in his car, Mac is pulled into a web of deception and lies. His quest to find her takes him from southern California to the beaches of Mexico to the streets of Rome and the countryside of France. All the while, one step behind an elusive murderer, and one step ahead of an actress who wants nothing more than to get lost.

"This was a fun read- definitely not to be taken too seriously. The story is reminiscent of black and white movies (and not just film noir) and farcical comedies, with the characters all entwining and the "mystery" building. If you want a break from reality, then read this book. " — Sandy (4 out of 5 stars)

“Offers plenty of romantic élan and international intrigue.”
“[A] frothy mystery…The perfect beach read for mystery lovers who enjoy their intrigue light and romantic.”
“Adler’s story is perfect reading material for a hot day. Her descriptive words whisk readers away for a walk on the beach or to an outdoor cafe to savor a cup of coffee.”
" A mystery/beach book which I've lost. Maybe it's under my bed or I finished it and it was completely easy to forget. "
" Pretty good crime thriller although it was somewhat predictable. Very likable characters. "
" For some reason I just couldn't get into this. Felt like I trudged my way through it. "
" a nice, predictable escape. "
" Good read. Nothing out of this world but none the less entertaining. Good mystery, ust a LIL too predicting. Now on the sequal... "There's something about "
" Second book by this author, which I would classify as chick lit mysteries. I hope there is not another one in audiobooks. They are okay, but I am way beyond needing all the characters to be drop dead gorgeous. "
" The engaging,well-developed characters and the interesting, well-constructed plot make a good read in spite of the somewhat self-conscious writing style and sometimes inadequate vocabulary. "
" A quick book you don't have to think too much about. I listened to this on CD and it helped pass the time! "
" I tend to really like Elizabeth Adler's novels, especially in recent years, but this one didn't do it for me. Halfway through I felt like I was totally lost, and the excitement of the story was gone. "
" I didn't get past the first CD. The story line was to predictable. "
" liked it but wished there was more about the ally ray story line "
" I picked this for a fun Labor Day weekend read and it delivered! "
" Very fun summer read and the story was interesting all throughout. Just a fun book! "
" Quick summer read, although predictable in spots. "
" I didn't even finish it......and that says a lot. "
" Breezy summer read. "
" First book I have read by this author. She has a very light style that kept my attention throughout the book. This was not a deep book by any means, but it was easy to follow and was enjoyable. I would like to read more of her Mac Reilly books. "
" After reading one of her other books (In a heartbeat) I expected this book to be better. It was still a good book, just a little slow going. "
" Enjoyable with good characters and a really different kind of crime to solve. "
" Not intellectual at all, this is a fun mystery set and played out in Malibu (and France), reminiscent of The Starter Wife. It was fun and quick. "
" Couldn't bring myself to finish this book - just skimmed to the end. Pace of the novel was slow, the characters too perfect, and too much time spent detailing what each character looked like without an exciting plot. "
" If I heard "So, ok" one more time I might shoot myself in the foot. I liked the story but I hated that line. I think this was a better story than the Venice one ... "
" Ok mystery but the author goes a bit overboard in her descriptions "
" It was okay, just didn't capture me, one of the few books I didn't even finish! "
" Good book - predictable but still wanted to see it to the end :) "
