Description from the publisher: Kacey Chance said goodbye to her actress dreams to become a private investigator, but now her work is sending her straight into the heart of Hollywood.

Her new assignment takes her undercover, working as a personal assistant to a handsome actor. Someone is trying to destroy his career, and it's up to Kacey to find out who, and why.

Being on set is every bit as fun as Kacey imagined. The case seems easy enough, until she hits a moral dilemma. Exactly how far should an investigator go to discover the truth? Kacey doesn't want to ruin anyone's life, and yet, she finds herself holding secrets that could destroy careers.

Back at the office, the Booker brothers have their own unique approaches to handling delicate secrets. Of course. And then there's Tippy Booker, the supposedly "retired" matriarch of the family, who's always around to drink coffee, look glamorous, and dispense her cynical advice.

Kacey and the Booker family race against time to unravel the twisted mystery of the Ready On Set Drama.

READY ON SET DRAMA is the third book in the Booker Brothers Detective Agency series.  Though each will stand on their own, it is best to read them all and in the order of release



This is the perfect timing for this story in the series.  Kacey is faced with her former life as an actress while investigating her newest assignment.  She is established as a PI, but starting to feel a longing to return to return to the limelight.  The push and pull can be strong.



How about this for a twist in a cozy mystery?  There is no body.  Nobody died!  Instead, this is a straight up investigative job for Kacey on the studio set of a pilot episode of a new show.  This story was more about the psychology of sabotage for their client and Kacey’s decision to stay with the firm or return to acting.



I love this series and I’m enjoying every episode.  The first paragraph, it was hinted that Kacey will eventually be romantically connected with one of the Booker Brothers.  Three books in and we don’t know which one yet.   I love the anticipation!



Narration:  The narrator is Marie Hoffman and she is one of my favorites.  Her voice continues to delight as she provides a perfect reading experience.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
