Allison Hart had it all—for a while. When her 20-year marriage ends and her kids have all but flown the coop, she opts for a new direction and an unlikely new career. Her best friend Charlotte “Charlie” Wells offers an unexpected solution that ignites a fire inside Allison. A private investigator. It was the best use of her skills. The only caveat was that Charlie had to agree to be her partner. … her partner.
Long-time friends, Detective Shane Sullivan and D.A. prosecutor, Milo Nash, are behind Allison all the way and offer leads to help her get her feet wet. She’s soon put in contact with Tommy Boyce, a hard-boiled private eye, who throws her a bone. Just a small job; stakeout a couple of cheaters and get a few pictures. But when her targets are gunned down by a hitman, Allison is hurled into a deadly scheme of murder, lies, and corruption.
Detective Sullivan implores Allison to let the cops do their job, but she knows the killer is after his only remaining witness—her. Allison must now stay one step ahead to keep her fledgling career and her life from meeting an untimely end.
From the million-selling author Robin Mahle comes an exciting new series. Allison Hart is a sharp-witted sleuth whose partner Charlie keeps her in check. If you like a little Sue Grafton sprinkled with a dash of Janet Evanovich, this new series is for you!

Deep Blue Goodbye has an interesting story capturing life change opportunities and challenges – common in all of our lives! It is well written but I rated it a 3 simply because of the number of unreasonable things Allison pushed forward on knowing that in real life the evidence she secured could not have been used in court. For someone wanting to be a PI I expected better of her actions.
a rainy day book
Characters poorly developed and not credible. Predictable in many ways.
I had a hard time with this story. The characters kept getting mixed up in my mind and I was never quite sure who were the good guys and who were the bad guys. I stuck with it and it turned out to be an ok mystery.
Not as interesting as some; main character just not believable.
Good story line but I did not like Allison. I appreciated her wanting to understand what really happened. However her recklessness bordered on narcissism.
I’m finished with the book but didn’t make it to the final page. Just not engaging with bleh characters.
