Savannah Reid, a former San Carmelita, California, cop and currently a private investigator and owner of the Midnight Magnolia Detective Agency, is hired by Academy Awardâwinning actor Ethan Malloy to find his wife, Beth, and son, Freddy. Beth stormed out of the house after an argument with Ethan, taking young Freddy and his nanny, Pilar, with her, and now she is not responding to Ethan's calls and texts. Savannah's husband, Detective Sergeant Dirk Coulter, becomes involved when Pilar is found dead in a local park with no sign of Beth and Freddy. Meanwhile, Savannah's good friend and agency computer expert Tammy is worried about her wealthy, critical parents' visit and is not her usual sunny self. Savannah, a strong-willed, opinionated woman, leads a cast of quirky, well-drawn characters in this humorous cozy, which will appeal to fans of Carolyn Haines' Sarah Booth Delaney series.

Emotions run high as private detective Savannah Reid (Every Body on Deck, 2017, etc.) rushes to find the missing wife and child of a distraught movie star.To millions of adoring fans, Hollywood heartthrob Ethan Malloy is the dreamiest, sexiest, most desirable man alive. But to Savannah, he's just a loyal husband and loving dad whose world hasn't been the same since his wife and baby son, Freddy, disappeared without a trace. Savannah's developed a soft spot for kiddies ever since her brother, Waycross, teamed up with her assistant, Tammy Reid (nee Hart), to produce Vanna Rose Reid, a red-haired bundle of joy. She desperately wants to find Ethan's missing family despite a shortage of clues or suspects. She does know that someone sent the actor a photo of his wife, Elizabeth "Beth" Sarsone, canoodling with Neil Irwin, her shady ex. And Savannah suspects that Elizabeth may have received a similar shot, since, before running off, she accused Ethan of getting back with former fianc ee Candace York. But who sent the photos and why remain mysteries. The stakes go up sharply, however, when Freddy's nanny, Pilar Padilla, is found dead in a nearby canyon. Now Savannah knows she's stalking someone who won't hesitate to use lethal force, someone who must be stopped before killing again. McKevett adds a shot of urgency to her mild, affable series. But the dark side of this case doesn't eclipse her heroine's sunny generosity and shrewd common sense. Copyright Kirkus 2018 Kirkus/BPI Communications.

In McKevett's enjoyable 23rd Savannah Reid mystery (after 2017's
Copyright 2018 Publishers Weekly.Every Body on Deck ), Savannah, the proprietor of the Midnight Magnolia Detective Agency, answers a distress call from actor Ethan Malloy, one of Hollywood's hottest hunks. Ethan tells Savannah that his wife, Beth, stormed out of their Malibu house after the couple had an argument the day before, accompanied by their toddler son and the boy's nanny, Pilar Padilla. Ethan admits Beth has temporarily left him before in such circumstances, but she always kept in touch. That he hasn't heard from her in more than 24 hours has him worried. When Pilar is found brutally murdered, Savannah's hubby, San Carmelita, Calif., Det. Sgt. Dirk Coulter, joins the case. In addition to Ethan, the large suspect pool includes Ethan's agent, who has secretly signed Beth as a client, and has more than a business interest in her to boot. Meanwhile, Savannah must cope with fraught family matters related to sister-in-law Tammy. As this inventive entry demonstrates, McKevett knows how to keep a long-running cozy series fresh.
