Regan Reilly, PI, is heading from LA to the Hamptons for a working vacation. Her best friend, Kit, has rented a cottage on a compound. However, Regan will be staying in another cottage. Regan is to be the bodyguard for an up and coming country western singer named Brigid. Brigid's original fiddle was stolen in Ireland and now Brigid is getting some very strange fan mail. Regan is keeping an eye on Brigid until after a concert. Strange rich folk, a fiddle, guru, poodle, egg eating fan, attempted murder, attempted kidnapping, secret tunnels/rooms, and an oceanside vacation make for a wild week for Regan and Kit.

This was a fun fast read. The author doesn't waste paper with dull unnecessary information and detail. I like spare writing like this. ( )
