One Missing Person. Two Rival Detectives. Infinite Chemistry. This rollicking thrill ride told in alternating "he said/she said" perspectives is an irresistible blend of mystery, sexual tension, and humor.
Jackson Jones and Mackenzie Cunningham have a lot in common. They are both hard-working private investigators with their own firms in Los Angeles, each happily single, and very good at their jobs. But when they're together, they are like oil and water.

After they find themselves working the same missing persons case, the idea of collaborating seems about as likely as a blizzard in Beverly Hills. But once it's clear that they have been set up to take the fall for a murder, they have no choice but to join forces and make a plan that will expose the truth.

Bickering their way from Century City to Malibu and beyond, they find it increasingly hard to deny the sparks flying between them. But with a small army of mercenaries in hot pursuit and a killer intent on covering his tracks, there's not a lot of time to sort through their complicated feelings. Told in alternating perspectives, this rollicking, romantic thrill ride makes for a swoon-worthy mystery.

      Young (the Vernetta Henderson series) and Smith (The Unkind Hours) team up for a breezy if forgettable series launch starring Los Angeles PIs Mackenzie Cunningham and Jackson Jones. Princeton grad Mackenzie runs her operation out of an Inglewood strip mall, while Jackson’s swanky Century City office has sweeping views of Beverly Hills. Both young, Black, and talented, Mackenzie and Jackson consider each other friendly rivals. After shady lawyer Raymond Patterson independently hires each of them to track down Ashley Cross, the 24-year-old daughter of one of his clients, they cross paths during their respective investigations and reluctantly join forces, though Jackson’s smug superiority threatens to derail their alliance. Soon, they learn that Patterson has hired a third PI to find Ashley. After that investigator turns up dead, Mackenzie and Jackson are set up to take the fall, and they realize they have something far more sinister than a missing-person case on their hands. Young and Smith have fun writing Mackenzie and Jackson’s dueling voices, but the plot provides precious few surprises. Readers are unlikely to clamor for a sequel. Agent: Lucy Carson, Friedrich Agency.

      Jaime Lincoln Smith's and Angel Pean's distinct vocal styles complement the alternating perspectives of Jackson Jones and Mackenzie Cunningham in this audiobook. The story brings together rival PIs who are searching for the same missing person. The pair soon realize they are investigating a murder--as well as their feelings for each other. Smith's deep, steady voice captures Jackson's no-nonsense attitude, while Pean's expressive narration brings Mackenzie's sharp wit and determination to life. Smith and Pean juggle the banter and tension between the characters, giving listeners a clear sense of their chemistry and the emotional stakes of their collaboration. The contrast in their vocal tones mirrors the "oil-and-water" dynamic between the protagonists, enhancing the push-and-pull of their relationship while maintaining a consistent flow throughout.
