Hi!
Welcome to today's Book Spotlight for Precious.
How would I describe Precious?
Mmm... I'd say it's romantic comedy meets celebrity murder mystery - all set on a remote Scottish island.
The book is about the crime fighting adventures of the special agents who work for the CCIA, otherwise known as the Celebrity Crimes Investigation Agency. The CCIA is the place to call when celebrities need a crime solving quickly and discreetly.
Below is some info plus an extract from the book - hope you enjoy!
Have a lovely day

Amber Reed CCIA Mystery Book Two
A murdered pop star on a remote Scottish island –
it’s all in a day’s work for Amber Reed, the Celebrity Crimes Investigation Agency’s
newest recruit…
Who would want to murder former pop star Flynn
Garrison?
That’s exactly what Amber Reed, the Celebrity Crimes
Investigation Agency’s newest recruit, needs to find out.
She’s desperate to get to grips with her first
assignment and prove she’s up to the job but there’s a lot at stake… and it’s
not only her new career that’s on the line.
Is mixing business and pleasure ever a good idea?
Will her relationship with fellow CCIA agent Charlie survive the challenge of
the two of them working together?
And then there’s agent extraordinaire Martha, a
man-eating six foot blonde goddess, also assigned to this murder investigation,
who clearly has designs on Charlie.
Trying to uncover who killed Flynn and why whisks
Amber from glamorous red carpet film premiere, to learning Scottish dancing at
a Highland party in a grand country house - and the distinct possibility of
becoming the murderer’s next victim.
Can Amber solve the case and still keep her
relationship with Charlie on track?
Read An Extract:
“Ah, good, you’re back.” Bethan, the woman who owns
the B&B, says as we dash into the entrance hall, dripping rain all over the
carpet. She’s standing behind the little reception desk and next to her is a
stunningly attractive woman in jeans and a close-fitting jumper, a suitcase at
her feet. “I was just talking to Martha
here about how you were both down at the beach with the murder victim.”
Strange – does she usually welcome guests by telling
them about bodies washing up on the local beach?
“It hasn’t been confirmed as murder,” Charlie says,
following me inside, head down as he pulls off his wet coat. “Not officially.”
The beautiful woman steps forward, ignores me and
envelopes Charlie in a hug, catching him off guard. “Charlie!” she squeals
excitedly. “It’s ages since we’ve worked
together. So good to see you again!”
Did she just say 'work
together'?
I watch as Charlie hugs her back, meeting my
questioning gaze over her shoulder.
“Martha, what are you doing here?” he asks once
she’s eventually disentangled herself from him.
“The agency sent me to help you out with this case.”
Martha casts a dismissive look in my direction. “They wanted their best agents
working up here. So,” she shrugs her shoulders in a here-I-am way, “they sent
me to work with you. I understand this is Amber’s first case and we don’t want
her getting all overwhelmed on an important job like this do we?” She giggles
and pushes a hand through her long honey-coloured hair.
They’ve sent Miss Beautiful CCIA Agent to work with
Charlie. I’ll probably be relegated to fetching her cups of coffee and typing
up her paperwork.
“Anyway,” Miss Beautiful continues, “the boss wants
a thorough investigation and expects us to be on this godforsaken island for a
while so I’m told the guys back at base have arranged a rental cottage for us
all to share. If you want to get packed and meet me back down here then I’ll
lead the way to our new home. Ten minutes OK?”
Fantastic.
Not only do my new employers not trust me to do my
job, they send another agent, a very beautiful one with a superior attitude, to
work with Charlie and me on this case.
Oh, and we all get to share a rental cottage
together as well.
I was so wrong when I thought this day couldn’t get
any worse…
