Summary
IS IT CONSIDERED STALKING YOUR BOYFRIEND IF HE'S INVOLVED IN YOUR MURDER INVESTIGATION? (ASKING FOR A FRIEND)
Turner & Hooch meets Mr. & Mrs. Smith in the eighth book of the Wall Street Journal bestselling Maizie Albright Star Detective series. For readers who like quirky characters, funny fast-paced plots, and amateur sleuthing heroines who earnestly agonize over (but not between) murder and marriage.
#WannabeMrsSmith Ex-celebrity and current (assistant) private investigator Maizie Albright finds her already strange life has become even odder. Her new partner is two hundred pounds and canine. And her ex-partner/still-boyfriend is on the wrong side of her infidelity case.
Not that Wyatt Nash is cheating.
At least not on Maizie. She thinks Nash is cheating on his boss. Her dad. Which sounds much worse than it is. Except it is (maybe) worse than it sounds
It's Spy vs. Spy or rather, Detective vs. Detective when Maizie and Nash realize they're both tailing the same subject for very different reasons. Can Maizie out-investigate Nash to learn the secrets he's probing into at her father's company?
Secrets she fears are much darker (and stinkier) than the secret DeerNose formula.
Secrets possibly related to old rivalries and a recent murder.
Her relationship is on the line, but it's more than her heart at stake. Her career rests on this case. And there's a killer at large. One who will do anything to keep dark secrets from getting dragged into the light.

The best yet
I know the title is 19 criminals but it could have been so easily called 19 reasons to get this book because I am sure I would have had no problem coming up with the 19 reasons. I won't bore you with listing them because let's face it you have better things to do with your time, like reading this book but here is some of the high lights. The characters are hilarious, the different situations and predicaments Maizie finds herself in are just too funny and some weren't even if her making. This book did make me think of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, especially with the big dog chaos but Cuddles certainly added a lot of the fun all by himself and I wouldn't change it. In fact I want more Cuddles. The mystery had a lot going on and a number of twists and turns but it is the type of story that you don't want to put down until you have finished as you don't want to miss a thing. I can't wait for the next book.
When a cheating wife case goes wrong, Maizie ends up taking care of her dog, well trying to. Taking a two hundred pounds dog with no manners on a stake out is not the best idea, especially when your boyfriend, Nash, keeps turning up where she does. Are they working the same case? But from different angles? Nash isn't sharing, claiming to be protecting Maizie and his boss her father. Then things it the fan, a body is found and a fire is set to hide the evidence and worse Nash goes missing. Can Maizie put her acting skills to good use and find out what is going on before anybody else is hurt or the dog destroys her car? And more importantly find Nash and the person sabotaging her father's company?
I liked the narrator. She puts in an entertaining and delightful performance. It's almost as if she is an actress herself.

Loved the narration of Joan Dukore, who brings out the humour, suspense and mystery.
Maizie is in training to become a Private Investigator, while Her Wyatt her boyfriend Nash is in charge of security at her dad's security company DeerNose. While training Maizie works for Albright Security Solutions with her boss Annie and friends Rhonda and Tiffany. While she is working on a case of a cheating spouse . Nash is on a big case, Maizie keeps seeing him while she is doing stakeouts, coursing her to be curious. Nash is unable to say and this creates some problems. Maizie ends up taking care of Cuddles the bullmastiff .
This book has humour and you will be surprised, thinking one think and the plot goes the other away. A great mystery.
