A High Price to Pay by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Madeline is back with a side kick. Her and Mike have set up a Private Investigating business but its slow to pick up business at the moment so she decides to still take on her event planning role full time while it develops it clientele.

While organising the biggest party of the year she stumbles across there first case. The clients mother has had some missing jewellery stolen and has hired Madeline and Mike to investigate the crime but when there is a famous film director and people around him are suspects the plot thickens.

As they are investigating, Madeline discovers that there is a man from her past which may be trying to sabotage the whole thing, but while trying to organise the biggest party in Santa Barbara, trying to find out who stole the jewellery and thinking will there business survive who knows.

This book was a great second instalment in this series and the character interactions where just as good as the first book. The story flowed and was a page turner, the plot twists and turns and you feel like you are in the story helping them through to solve the mystery they behold.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and see the relationship grow between Mike and Madeline in the future.
