Publisher Description
She's protecting a bestselling vampire author. T
oo bad nobody protected the assistant.
Mimi Capurro has seen some things. Cheating husbands. Insurance fraudsters. One very uncomfortable stakeout involving a coffee can. But nothing in her private detective career prepared her for walking into the dining room of her current client's home that night.
Now Mimi's juggling a book tour bodyguard gig, a murder investigation she was specifically told to stay out of, and the sudden reappearance of Nick Christianson — the one man from her past who can make her forget she's a professional. Mostly by being infuriating.
With a killer who's clearly read the book, a vampire role-playing cult with surprisingly good rock-paper-scissors skills, and a client whose entire crisis may have been a publicity stunt, Mimi's going to need more than her nine millimeter and her Doberman Lola to sort this one out.
Though, honestly? Lola might be enough.
Wickedly funny, deliciously twisty, and just dark enough to make you sleep with the lights on — Let Us Prey proves that the most dangerous fans aren't the ones who love you. They're the ones keeping score.
Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and Charlaine Harris who like their mysteries with a side of chaos and a heroine who pukes at crime scenes but shows up anyway.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
From the very first page of Let Us Prey, we fell in love with Mimi Capurro, the funny and feisty owner of Gotcha Detective Agency (and ex-Secret Service agent). What’s meant to be a routine bodyguard job leads Mimi to both a dead body and an old boyfriend, and puts her in a killer’s path. With its strong female protagonist, sizzling romance and refreshing cast of quirky, compelling characters, Jamie Lee Scott’s series is easy to read and full of laughs and perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum books.

Just what I needed, after a bunch of plain, ordinary books - one with a bit of wit, pizazz, light enjoyable thriller. It’s apparently the first book by the author, who is now a well recognised one.
Mimi runs a small PI firm, mostly insurance, divorces, etc; but gets caught up in a murder tied to a rich vampire story writer. It’s fun to read, trundles along quickly, and all of the variety of people involved are interesting.
A better book than most 4/5
