    About this ebook

    New York Times Bestselling Author of Meet Me in Venice

    It was just one of those Malibu nights, dark as a velvet shroud, creamy waves crashing onto the shore, breeze soft as a kitten's breath....

    But when Private Investigator to the stars, Mac Reilly, hears the sound of a woman's scream over the crashing waves, his low-key beach-bum lifestyle is changed forever. A beautiful, distraught woman wearing only a black lace negligee stands in the doorway of a fabulous beach house. In her hand, a gun, and it's pointed directly at him.

    Mac escapes her bullet, but barely. Who is that woman? Days later she's disappeared and the Smith & Wesson she almost killed him with finds its way into his car.

    Not so coincidentally, Allie Ray, star of the big screen and America's sweetheart, has also gone missing. The two women are connected, and Mac suddenly finds himself tangled up in a web of deception. He's going to need some help if he's going to get to the bottom of it all.

    This is where Sunny Alvarez comes in. Sunny and Mac have an on-again, off-again relationship. Lately it's been more off than on. But now he needs her more than ever. Together they go on a quest that takes them from Southern California, to the beaches of Mexico, to the streets of Rome, and the countryside of France. All the while they're one step behind an elusive murderer and one step ahead of an actress who wants nothing more than to get lost....

    With Elizabeth Adler's trademark descriptions, plot twists, and irresistible characters, One of Those Malibu Nights is beach-reading suspense at its best.

      I really enjoyed listening to this mystery. The narrator did a good job. I wonder if the one character was meant to be gay, or if it was just the effect of the woman reading the book
    • 3/5
      One of those summer romance/mystery reads - a mystery that goes off the rails into a romance then back again - pretty predictable but easy to listen to with little attention needed
    • 1/5
      1.5*

      Adler writes romantic suspense / chick-lit. This is the first in her Mac Reilly / Sunny Alvarez series. Mac is a private investigator with a Malibu beach bungalow, a one-eyed mutt named Pirate, and a reality crime-investigation TV show. His girlfriend Sunny just wants him to propose. While out for an evening stroll on the beach, he hears a woman scream and nearly gets shot when he runs to investigate. Before he knows it, however, he’s got multiple clients in the rich-and-famous Hollywood jet-set. The story has the characters traveling to Italy, Mexico and France in pursuit of a murderer.

      The writing is hackneyed, and the characters one-dimensional. Worse, the plot twists are so incredible as to be plain ridiculous. I’ve read some of her other books and thought they were fun beach reads. I think she got carried away with this one and tried to do too much. I didn’t care at all about the relationship between Mac and Sunny. Actress Allie Ray’s adventures in the South of France were the best part …. That might have made an entertaining read all on its own.
