#Review #Giveaway Gumshoe Girl by Andi Ramos




This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Andi will be awarding a $20 Amazon or B/N GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.

Sheagan O’Hare got more than she bargained for when her newly inherited detective agency lands its first case; a missing person, embezzlement, and murder. Sheagan’s out to prove she can hang with the pro's, despite the constant reminder of her amateur status from an annoyingly attractive FBI agent, Colin 'Mac' MacEvine, who’s forced himself into her life.

How does she feel when an old high school friend hopes to ignite a new romance?

Will she be able to discover if detective work and love can mingle before someone gets hurt?

Review:
What is a girl to do when she is trying to prove her detective skills all the while two - yes two, attractive guys are interested in her? Poor Sheagan? She wants to prove that she can do the job but she also has these budding romances to deal with. I really like Sheagan. She seems the type I could be friends with, besides I love a good mystery! This really was a fun read. I enjoyed geting involved with the story and seeing how everything worked out and played out. Although I wouldn't put this under the genre of romantc suspense (I do love those!), I would more put this under the cozy mystery genre. But that isn't a complaint. The plot is really good, the characters are well developed, all wrapped in a fun and cozy story. This was light hearted, fun, mysterious, with a touch of serious depth. I look forward to reading more from this author.


Read an excerpt:

“Does this have to do with this detective stuff you decided to play around with?”

She shot a dirty look at the wall. “Listen, don’t worry about it. I’ve got it under control.”


“Obviously you don’t. I’m going to the police.”


“Um, no. You can’t call, uh, not yet.”


“Why can’t I?” He came back into the room.


“I can’t explain that.”


“You’d better explain something, because I am calling 9-1-1 right now.” He picked up the phone.


“Stop!” she yelled.


He looked at her like she was crazy. “Why?”


“Listen, just let me call my friend first.”


“Your friend?” It was his turn for sarcasm.


“Yes, my friend.” She snatched the phone from him, grabbed her bag, and went into the bathroom. She fished around until she found the card from Mac and punched in his number on her cell.


“Yup,” Mac answered.


“I have a sticky situation.”


“What is it?”


“Well, I’m at my old place.”


“I’m not here to settle disputes for you and your boyfriend.”


“Boyfriend? What are you talking about, we broke up?” Then it dawned on her. Her address showed she was still living with Rat Bastard.


“Sheagan,” she heard him shout, breaking into her thoughts.


“What!” she shouted back.


He grunted. “What is the situation?”


“The O’Dwyer boys came to visit my ex-boyfriend last night.”


“I’ll be right there. Don’t call the police.”


“I know. I called you.”


“Well, you got something right.” He hung up.


She screamed into the receiver, “You son-of-a-, I’ll give you, ‘you got something right’. You can kiss my butt.”


When she emerged from the bathroom, Rat Bastard cocked his head. “Friend, huh?”


“It’s complicated!” she snapped.
