About the Book:

Miss Daphne Beekman is a mystery writer by day, inquiry agent by night. Known for her ability to puzzle out plots, she prefers working behind the scenes for the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency, staying well away from danger. However, Daphne soon finds herself in the thick of an attempted murder case she's determined to solve.

Mr. Herman Henderson is also a mystery writer, but unlike the dashing heroes he pens, he lives a quiet life, determined to avoid the fate of his adventurous parents, who perished on an expedition when he was a child. But when he experiences numerous attempts on his life, he seeks out the services of the eccentric Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency to uncover the culprit. All too soon, Herman finds himself stepping out of the safe haven of his world and into an adventure he never imagined.

As the list of suspects grows and sinister plots are directed Daphne's way as well, Herman and Daphne must determine who they can trust and if they can risk the greatest adventure of all: love.

My Rating & Thoughts:    


I loved Herman and Daphne. Their interactions were great and made me want to know them personally. The two meet when Herman approaches the agency Daphne works for. Herman feels threatened and wants to know who is behind the events. Daphne is determined to get answers even if gets her to do things that aren't her strong suit. Will she succeed? There is a side story going on with fellow agent, Ann, that I really enjoyed. Will anything happen between her and one of the guy characters? I enjoyed how both these characters spoke to Daphne about their feelings and she tries her best to get them together. Herman and Daphne are both authors in the same genre, but only one of them knows that due to a contract agreement one can't share their secret. When the secret is revealed it could be the end of a career for one of them. I was very happy when one character spoke up to those around them rather than just letting others tell them what to do. The mystery of who was behind the events kept me guessing, but the source of rescue near of the end didn't feel realistic, I was left with questions such as how did they came to there at just that moment. I laughed quite a bit while reading, there were quite a few funny scenes, or comments made. The one downfall I had was that at times I found at times it moved pretty slow which made the chapters feel long at times.
