What better way to spend New Year’s?
This series is so much fun! This installment finds Maizie in charge of Remi while her father is out of town. More like Remi’s in charge with her swarm of Jack Russell’s! Who knew one small child could wreck so much havoc! A group of bad guys is trying to get a movie prop that Maizie gifted to her father. And they will stop at nothing! And who’s side is Nash on in all this? Too hard to tell!
I received an ARC. This is my honest review.
17.5 Cartridges in a Pear Tree by Larissa Reinhart is a very action packed novella. This is a part of a very fun and exciting series Maizie Albright Star Detective. This book was a very quick read but had me engaged right from the first page until the end. There are so many wacky little adventures, a little romance and some well-defined and likeable characters. This story will have you laughing out loud. If you need something to cheer you up or a light fun, action packed novella this is the one for you. You will become hooked and have to read the rest of the books in this series. I can’t wait to see what’s in store next.
“Kung Fu Kate, Warhead Girl, and Julia Pinkerton never had to deal with real-life issues of size and strength.”
It’s Christmas in Black Pine. As usual, Mazie Albright is stuck in the middle of something she never asked for, and her little sister Remi is included. Remi’s too bright for her own good, as we all know, but who thought she’d get into trouble of THIS magnitude… and what a bunch of spent shells actually is worth. Just what is Mazie’s newly built life worth? Her job? Remi’s life? Her boss Wyatt Nash? All for a movie prop? What a way to start a new year…..!
In this, the 5th book in the “Maizie Albright Star Detective” series, the pace is fast, the mystery topsy-turvy and Maizie at the center of the anything-but-perfect-storm. Even when things look fine on the outside, in Maizie’s world, does anything go well for long. Leave it to Larissa Reinhart to keep us laughing right through New Year’s Eve. Highly Recommended 5/5

17.5 Cartridges in a Pear Tree” is the perfect Christmas holiday read! Mysterious gangster type guys are after something Maizie values. And of course, Maizie doesn’t want to it up! Her PI boss/boyfriend Nash and her six year-old half sister Remi are in and out of the conflicts too. The read sizzles in more ways than one! More amazing Maizie–more crazy fun! I’m definitely looking forward to more upcoming releases of Maizie’s adventures! I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book and agreed to post an honest review.
Trouble does seem to follow Maizie, but when she got left in charge of Remi, well I knew it was going to get interesting. You would not think a child that age would be so inventive. The things she can come up with are amazing! Read along and follow the adventures of Nash, Maizie and Remi. I think you’ll have a chuckle or two or three and a few shakes of your head. Some of these characters are well, you’ll have to decide. Interesting storyline. You never know what people are willing to pay for or what they think they can accomplish with it. What’s next for Maizie and Nash. Guess we’ll have to stay tuned. I received an ARC of this book, but my opinion is my own.
With all the humor of the Maizie Albright Star Detective series and the action of one of Maizie’s movies or TV series, 17.5 Cartridges in a Pear Tree is a true blast! A crazy rich guy, a manipulative femme fatale and a rambunctious little sister offer Maizie almost than she can handle. Two groups seem to be on a quest for a tacky prop from one of Maizie’s movies that has developed a cult following, a movie she would love to forget. But that artifact has one thing going for it that makes it worth protecting; it was a gift to her father who appreciates the message behind the gift even more than the shotgun shell necklace. I loved everything about the book, but what touched me most was that Maizie revealed her insecurities. She always seems so sure of herself, but she doesn’t quite trust her connection with Nash or with her father.
As a fan of the Maizie Albright Sart Detective series, I was thrilled to receive an ARC of 17.5 Cartridges in a Pear Tree. The books was as fun as the earlier books in the series and fans and new reads alike with love it.
It’s New Year’s Eve and Maizie is spending the holiday at home with her family. Unfortunately her step-mom mothers had fallen and her parents needed to take care of her. That left Maizie to take care of Remi, her six-year old sister. A woman arrives at the Nash Security Solution office asking about an old movie prop that Maizie gave to her father. All of a sudden people are interested in this prop and she has until midnight to give it up. As the story unfolds, Maizie goes to great lengths to protect this prop and Remi from the evil characters. Remi is a pistol with her antics of trying to help Maizie. Wyatt’s soft side and his feelings for Maizie is brought to the front. This story was a lot of fun to read. The adventures of Maizie and Remi are hilarious! I am addicted to this series and can’t wait for the next book. Highly recommend this book!
