Danny Logan Mystery

review 1: From Amazon: A modern version of a classic whodunit: Seattle PI Danny Logan investigates the murder of a beautiful heiress.Danny Logan has known for a while that his partner, Antoinette "Toni" Blair is an extraordinarily gifted woman. But when she tells him one morning that Sophie Thoms is looking right at her with her "Mona Lisa Eyes", speaking to her with her gaze alone, Logan starts to worry. And for good reason: Sophie Thoms was murdered three months ago.The police are baffled by the case and they offer no objections when Sophie's father, billionaire industrialist Sir Jacob Thoms, hires Logan PI to represent the family. Danny, Toni, and the rest of the crew dive headlong into a foreign world - a world of wealth and privilege, a world of beautiful women and their super... morestar boyfriends, a world where normal boundaries and limits no longer seem to apply. They soon learn that this is not your normal PI case. Then again, nobody ever accused Danny Logan and Toni Blair of being your normal detectives. I remember quite liking this one - a bit different from a typical whodoneit
review 2: Mona Lisa Eyes, the fourth in the Danny Logan Mystery series, gripped me from the start and held me to the end. When Sophia disappears (the first few pages of a book aren't spoiler territory, right? if so, then *Spoiler Alert*), I was nearly heartbroken. And when Logan Investigations are introduced, I immediately wanted to read the adventures referenced here in describing the team members and their interactions. Maybe by the fourth book, the author should have this level of expertise to draw readers in, but whatever the reason, I'm all in.Sophie Thoms, an heiress working for the Beatrice Thoms Foundation to help communities in Africa, disappears and is found murdered. Young and beautiful, there is really no reason for her to have been killed. While the police have a few persons of interest (like her sister, Nicki), there's nothing worth murdering over, and all alibis are pretty solid. Was it a random attack? Her aunt Cecilia, quite formidable and forceful, does not think so and pressures the Seattle police department to bring in Danny Logan and crew to bring fresh eyes to the process.In the first few days, new leads are brought to light, and Danny and Toni (his girlfriend/partner) prove their worth several times over throughout the story. They didn't do it all on their own, but Seattle PD could not do it on their own, either. The two groups do work together if not in a vein of friendship, then at least in friendly competition and mutual respect. Appropriate digs are taken, but never in an attempt to destroy the other.I highly recommend the book to anyone looking for an engaging mystery. While humorous, there is appropriate darkness -- we are talking about murder, after all, and not just one! less
