When Private Investigator Lexi Graves’ police lieutenant brother, Garrett, asks her for help on a missing persons cold case he’s been instructed to close, she’s happy to poke around. After all, it won’t take long to prove if the woman he’s checking up on is an impostor or the real deal. Garrett isn’t convinced that Debby Patterson, who skipped town ten years ago, is the same happy, … family-conscious woman who has finally returned home. Her parents are thrilled to welcome her back so there is no reason to think she isn’t. But just as Lexi begins her investigation, a friend of the family approaches her with some suspicions. Before Lexi can find out what is worrying her, the woman is murdered. Coincidence? Or something more dangerous?
Solving a murder and proving a missing person’s identity, Lexi must put everything she’s learned to the test. Perhaps, by solving one crime, she can solve the other and determine, once and for all, who is the real Debby.

I love how this series has progressed! Ready, Aim, Under Fire still has those wonderfully hilarious moments that Camilla Chafer does so well but Lexi’s skills have matured as she has. The plot is solid and complex mystery but relationships, humor, and romance are still vital to the outstanding quality of the story. I have a great family but like Lily, I wouldn’t mind being part of the insanity and loyalty of Lexi’s family. And who would object to spending time with Solomon or Maddox! I am so glad that Maddox and Lexi were able to reestablish their friendship; I am ready for him to come home!
Garrett asks Lexi to check into a complicated situation that the police have closed out. A woman was reported missing 10 years ago but she later made contact with her parents via email. Now she has come home, or has she. That is the question that Garrett wants his sister to check out and Lexi trusts her brother’s gut. When a friend of the family is murder just before Lexi is to meet with her, it places Lexi right in the middle of a murder investigation. One of these days, Solomon is going to start docking her pay for all those pro bono cases but for now he givers her what she wants. Lily is learning to be a mother but she still wants to get involved in the investigation. A several twists throw everything they believe out the window!
I requested and received an advanced readers’ copy of Ready, Aim, Under Fired. I loved it and I always review books that I enjoy!
Another great mystery for Lexi Graves, by Camilla Chafer.
It is comical and we’ll written too. Great characters and an Interesting story line.
Number 10 already! I still like this series by Camilla Chafer. The mysteries are cozy and I like Lexi and her big cop family. Her BFF Lily had her baby in the last book but she is willing to help Lexi with her case, even when it doesn’t work out that well.
Lexi and Solomon are getting married and her mom has made several binders so she can start planning! Maddox is back and has a heartfelt conversation with Lexi that was way overdue. Although I like Maddox, I don’t really understand his presence in the story. This is the second book he is referred to as ‘the one that got away’ and that makes me a bit itchy. I would not like another hero-change, as I like Solomon and Lexi together. I still remember his joy when he thought Lexi was pregnant a couple of books back, he was so cute!
The ending was a bit sudden. I had hoped for something more with regards to the questions Lexi had about Solomon.
Overall a good read!! (2017)
Fun read, especially if you like Las Vegas
This is a great series! I have enjoyed all of the Lexi Graves Mysteries.
Very amusing story and characters. If you like Janet Evanovich you will like Camila Chafer
I enjoy this collection. It’s easy to read, with entertaining characters and is lighthearted.
