What happens when you put three hot brothers together with crime solving and an actress turned amateur detective? Chaos all around is the funny and enchanting result. The situations Kacey and the brothers find themselves in are somewhat hilarious and always entertaining. This series is great, the characters are likeable and the plots are solid. Really enjoying the series and looking forward to the next book.
These books are really a nice way to unwind and enjoy a good mystery and some good laughs at the same time. Kacey and the Booker Brothers are a fantastically ridiculously fun quartet and Tippy is cast perfectly as the occasional foil. Great series so far, looking forward to the next book.
Stunt Double Trouble (Brooker Brothers Detective Agency #2) was another great book by Maisie Dean. Kacey is now a detective at the Brooker Brothers Detective Agency. Kacey must now investigate a workplace accident that seems suspicious. The victim is seeking a large cash settlement. The victims neighbors and roommate seem to drop hints that the accident isn’t as it seems. I enjoyed reading Kacey and the brothers investigating this case. I can’t wait to read more by Maisie Dean.
Helping her bosses on a routine insurance case leads to confusion and danger for Kacey when the victim in the case turns out to be much more than she seems.
This was an interesting story that kept me wondering exactly what was going on until very late in the story … and I confess that I hadn’t seen the real culprit coming.
Well read and worth your time.

Take three very different brothers, their boss/mother, a recent hire who sort of gave up on the acting thing, make them all private investigators in one office and give them what looks like a very routine assignment. What could possibly go wrong?
Kacey is getting the hang of things but things sort of get out of hand. Doesn’t stop the fun, though! A nice read with a thoughtful reality check at the end. Not to do a spoiler, but honors to the author.
Narrator Marie Hoffman is great as audio interpreter!
STUNT DOUBLE TROUBLE is the second 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.
Maisie Dean puts the Cozy in Cozy Mysteries. I highly recommend this cozy, easy-listening, detective agency series that includes a bit of romance, though we still don’t know who will win the fair hand of our lovely Kacey. All three of the handsome Booker brothers are worth their weight in gold and any of them would be a fine match for her. I have placed my bet; listen and make your prediction.
In STUNT DOUBLE TROUBLE, the mystery is as tightly woven as it should be, with a great ending twist. The familiar characters are becoming even more developed and the characters for the current story are wonderfully unique and quirky. This was highly entertaining for such a relatively short read.
Narration: The narrator is Marie Hoffman and she is one of my favorites. Once again, she has nailed her part in bringing a book to life – entertaining with clear articulation, enunciation, and pronunciation. What more could you ask? Her voice is beautiful. I look forward to listening to her bring us Kacey and the boys again in READY ON SET DRAMA.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Stunt Double Trouble by Maisie Dean and narrated by Marie Hoffman is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. This adventure takes our gal on a case to unravel a insurance claim. As she gets deeper in the case, the deadly the case gets for our PI gal! (The brothers are also cute in their own way too! ) The ending is unpredictable and shocking! Great stoy!
Narration was good!
