    About this ebook

    When reporter Carol Childs is called to the scene of a body dump she has no idea she's about to uncover a connection to a string of missing girls. Young, attractive women drawn to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood via an internet promise of stardom and romance have been disappearing.

    A judge's daughter leaves behind a clue and a trip down Hollywood Boulevard’s Walk of Fame reveals a connection to a high powered real estate mogul and to a cartel targeting girls for human trafficking.

    Old Hollywood has its secrets, its impersonators and backdoor entrances to old speakeasies and clubs where only those with the proper credentials can go. And when Carol Childs gets too close, she finds herself politically at odds with powers that threaten to undo her career and like the very girls she’s seeking, make her disappear.

      This was a good, fun cozy mystery. I enjoyed the characters and storyline. I liked how the main character's daughter got drawn into the story, but felt the main character made some stupid decisions. Overall, it was a good read and I am looking forward to the next installment in the series.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

      I really loved the first book of this series so I was pretty excited to read this book. Carol Child's is back and this time she is investigating the death of a federal judge's daughter, which seems to be connected to a string of missing young women. Carol will stop at nothing to find out who is behind everything even if it ruins her career and puts her life at danger. I do love reading about Carol but I have to say that I feel like she was needlessly reckless in this book. Not only did she seem to blindly walk into danger but she also led others into danger (even her own daughter). I admire her persistence at bringing the person who was behind everything to justice but it seemed like she wasn't thinking straight at certain points throughout the book. I did not like Carol's boss, Tyler, in the previous book but I really liked him in this one. I liked how supportive he was being of Carol (even if she didn't always see it that way). I also liked the addition of Cupid to the series. At first it seemed like Cupid was going to be a jerk but I love how supportive he was to Carol as well. I was really excited when the action in the story really ramped up towards the end. Unfortunately I feel like it kind of wrapped up way too quickly. There was barely any showdown. I was happy though that Carol was celebrated as the hero that she was. I look forward to reading more of this series but I do hope that in the future there is more of Eric. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the galley.

      Beyond a Doubt is the second in the Carol Childs series. I came away from this one feeling the same way I did about the first one - I liked it, but I didn’t love it. Carol is a divorced mother who’s in her second career as a radio news reporter. The things that happen in the radio station feel authentic, as does her relationship with her kids & friends. But she inserts herself in the stories she reports on, perhaps a bit too deeply since she finds she’s put herself in peril in each of the first two books. Her significant other is conveniently in the FBI. I think what puts me off a bit about both books is the decisions Carol makes at times - she knows what she should do, but she finds a way to rationalize doing the not-so-smart thing instead, and finds herself in danger. I’ll read more in the series, just to see if she starts making better decisions. I hope she does, because there’s promise here.

      This is the second book in the Carol Child’s Mystery Series. The further we go into this book the higher the level of suspense. This author definitely knows how to write. Once again we find our radio reporter knee deep in a case. Young women have begun to disappear and a young girl’s body is dumped in Hollywood. Carol figures out early on why the girls are disappearing, and that it is not only rich white girl. This one becomes more personal to her. A friend and co-worker goes missing. Her daughter is placed in danger. She thinks she knows who is behind it and the fact that they have a lot of influence makes her job of proving their guilt and the reasons behind it even more troubling and dangerous for her and her family. What made this book even better than the last one was that the events in this book are happening today. People like to turn a blind eye and pretend it doesn’t happen ‘here’. The action in this one moved even quicker. It didn’t matter we learn early on who the guilty party is. Knowing this bit of information and watching Carol do her best to prove it is what made this book so deliciously good. I believe it was better than the first book which I really enjoyed. I will definitely be reading and reviewing the third book.

      For a cozy mystery, this was pretty good, filled with excitement and lots of action. Carol Childs, a radio show persona, is determined to figure out what exactly is happening to girls in the LA area who are going missing. She figures it all out early on, but must then work on proving her theory. This takes her on a whirlwind tour of the city and its surroundings, while putting her right smack in the middle of a potential political scandal and risky mess. The story moves along at a fairly good clip, keeping the reader engaged throughout. Anyone can easily relate to the main character Carol Childs, a working mother who just cannot let a story go, especially one that concerns someone’s missing children. Carol has a close friend, Sherri, who also figures in the story, though not overpowering Carol, who is likewise a character we can relate to and enjoy. I found myself eagerly reading the story, as Carol got deeper and deeper into the plot and closer and closer to finding the clues necessary to implicate the guilty party. This is not some esoteric read, but a good, down-to-earth book you can take to the beach or on a trip. I am certain you will find it entertaining and fast moving enough to capture and hold your attention. This is the second book in the series. I have not read the first book, but will now go back to read more about this endearing, strong, smart woman Carol. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.

      Carol is back, that amateur sleuth who just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. There’s nothing I like better than a strong woman protagonist and Silverman has developed a character we can love and relate to. The first two books are page turners and I find myself trying to stay awake just to read the next page. A bit of suspense, a bit of romance and a whole lot of mystery, Beyond a Doubt is a captivating read.
