"Malicious Secrets includes eye-opening adventures involving financial trickery, cheating spouses and even the vampire culture. It's exciting to learn more about Sam Parker's "keen ability to visualize things and events" via Maria Pease's second installment in her mystery series. You won't want to put it down!"
Malicious Secrets
The Beginning
Samantha Parker is back with a new job as a private investigator and new cases to solve. Frank, her boss, has finally assigned her a big case, one that will surely help her to prove herself. All she has to do is discover what could have happened to a college girl that has been missing for seven months, and find out if she’s dead or alive. With an increasing body count, it won’t be easy.
The Investigation
As a new PI without much more than her gut instincts to go on, Sam enlists the help of a detective in the police department to assist her in finding out what could have happened to the girl. He’s got the experience, and she knows in order to get the job done, she’s going to have to stay close to him and learn what she can. It doesn’t hurt that Detective Jake Reilly is oh so sexy either!
The Drive
As the second book in Maria Pease’s Sam Parker Mystery series, this fast paced detective mystery finds Samantha Parker in some compromising situations as she works her caseload. Financial scams, cheating spouses, missing persons and deviant behaviors are just the tip of the iceberg, but with her sense of humor intact and her lucky undies to give her confidence, she’s ready for whatever comes her way.

Relatively new private investigator Samantha Parker takes her first official big case to unexpected levels as she hunts for a missing college student. Professional effort intertwined with her complicated personal life and witty perspective, Sam is entertaining while uncovering clues and sorting out the liars from the sincere; as key people try to steer her off course, everyone has a suspicious story. This page turner kept me intrigued with the assortment of situations that developed and needed to be sorted out. In Malicious Secrets, Maria Pease gives us another entertaining mystery that holds the suspense clear through till the end.

If you thought Temecula California was all about wine and cowboys...you'd be wrong. Strap in for the newest page turner from Maria Pease. PI Sam Parker is a little girl next door, a little Stephanie Plum... in a PG kinda way. She's a wiseass, she's stubborn and she's reckless. Lucky for her womanizing boss, Frank and the people of Southern California, she's also a very good PI.
While questioning the parents of a missing Temecula teenager, Sam senses that they're holding something back, that there's more to the story. And is there ever! The investigation takes some very interesting twists and turns as the story unfolds, revealing secrets, lies, friendships, cults, cover-ups, suicide, jealousy, alternative lifestyles, denial and murder. Did I leave anything out? Be prepared to stay up past your bedtime. Some questions can't wait until morning for answers. I guarantee you will never think of this sleepy California town, or your own, the same way ever again!

I am eager to read more about her in the near future and discover where the next novel may lead. The Malicious series is addicting and gratifying. Maria Pease is a hilarious author who delivers an outstanding murder mystery which is based in her home town of Temecula, California. Her writing style is filled with tons of suspense, wittiness and adventure. I guarantee you that this is a must read and Maria Pease will be one of your preferred authors too!
