“Danger was part of my job description, but none of my contingency plans anticipated an attack by a Maine Coon.”

It’s summer on Whisper Island. Ex-cop-turned-private-investigator Maggie Doyle is looking forward to sun, fun, and romance. Instead, she gets bills, an assault allegation, and a busted wrist. To add insult to injury, there’s a movie being filmed on the island, and Maggie’s diva sister has been cast in it—her debut role. While other residents clamor for parts as extras, Maggie wants nothing to do with the shoot.

But when hotshot director Con Ryder asks Maggie to investigate a series of suspicious accidents on the movie set, she can’t afford to refuse. Maggie and her UFO-obsessed assistant, Lenny, go undercover as extras, with Lenny intent on enjoying every second of the experience, and Maggie determined to solve the mystery and leave as quickly as possible. Maggie’s hopes for a quick-fix solution are shot to pieces when the woman who accused her of assault turns up dead.

How will Maggie get out of this take? Grab a copy and find out today!

Zara Keane’s Movie Club Mysteries series, including this one (Some Like it Shot) are great cozy mysteries and this one includes being set in Ireland! The mystery is good with humor and suspense. I can recommend this book.

Maggie Doyle is back in book six of Zara Keen's Movie Club Mysteries.

Maggie Doyle's business has fallen not to mention tourism is down largely due to the rainy weather on Whisper Island. The only case she has is looking for Trudy Nelson's prize winning cat, Quibbles, who had disappeared and appears to be very elusive. While looking for Quibbles, Maggie runs into Theresa Crawley, owner of one of the food trucks on the island with a questionable reputation and a long list of people who flat out don't like her. It seems Theresa is getting threatening letters and wants Maggie to look into it at least until they run into Lenny who surprises both Maggie and Theresa leading to Maggie falling down stairs and breaking her wrist.

Despite the broken wrist, things look up for Maggie when Con Rider, director of the movie being filmed on Dolphin Island and starring her sister Beth, offers her and Lenny, her partner, a job undercover to look into suspicious accidents happening around the set mainly when her sister is in the scene. Things heat up when Theresa Crawley shows up as an extra and then during a cast party, suddenly dies. Soon, Maggie finds out that Theresa's death was murder. Will Maggie and Lenny find out what's going on before one of them becomes the next victim?

This book was well worth the wait and together with Maggie's accident prone nature and Lenny's...well Lenny being Lenny, had some funny moments for those who like a little humor with their cozy mystery. The fact this series takes place in Ireland is an added bonus. This is one of my favorite series and if you like cozies and haven't tried this series, then give this one a look.

Please note: I was given a copy of this book by the author. All opinions expressed are my own.

Another fun an interesting investigation filled with hilarious mishaps. It is very fitting that Movie Reel Investigations gets to investigate on an actual movie set.

Another 5 star book in the Movie Club Mysteries

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2020

About 2 or 3 years ago I stumbled across the "Cozy Mystery" genre and I am a huge fan. As I tried different authors and story lines (thanks Amazon), I soon found that Zara Keane is tops in this genre. The Movie Club Mysteries series never fails to deliver. So, as the anticipation mounted for Some Like It Shot's release day (which happened to be on my birthday, yeah), I was not disappointed!
Zara’s colorful characters and plot twists leave me turning the page for more and more. I love the situations that make up the stories like the spoof on Magnum PI, a quirky sidekick that sometimes allows his personal interests to override his professionalism in the middle of a murder investigation, and a Police Sergeant dressed in drag for a dance routine. I have been a big fan of murder mysteries for decades, but I especially like this series for the humor that is interjected throughout and the real characters that are brought to life by the author. Also, I like how Zara doesn’t just discard characters from previous books. They are brought back if even for just a cameo appearance because they are part of the community that I am reading about. The people who call Whisper Island home.
If you are a fan of Cozy Mysteries, I would recommend the Movie Club Mysteries at the top of my list of books to read. Try one or all, you won’t be disappointed!

Back to Whisper Island

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 25, 2020

Some Like It Shot is the latest installment in Zara Keane’s Movie Club Mysteries, featuring Maggie Doyle, a one-time San Francisco cop now working as a private investigator on the small Irish island where her father grew up and where Maggie spent summers as a child. Business is slow: her main case involves searching for a wandering Maine Coon cat. Then an American movie company arrives on the island. Maggie’s younger sister, an online “Beauty Influencer” (yes, apparently this is a Thing, although I have trouble wrapping my brain around it), has landed her first movie role—as the female lead.

Maggie is not thrilled; she and her sister have a rather dysfunctional relationship. But the movie shoot has been plagued with “accidents,” and Maggie and her off-the-wall assistant Lenny are hired to sniff out any possible sabotage. Maggie and her boyfriend, the sergeant in charge of the tiny Whisper Island police station, suspect that most of the accidents were just that, but when there’s a death on the set the danger ramps up quickly.

I really enjoy this series (this is the sixth book) with its mixture of mystery, humor, and small town Irish life (I did have to look up the pronunciation of a couple of names: the Irish clearly have their own version of the alphabet) and I hope there will be many more.

This is another great read. So fun! So many twists and turns in the plot. But another can't-put -it-down read. VERY entertaining.

This series just keeps getting better and better. If you haven't read other books in this series, I strongly urge you to do so. You will totally love Maggie and her sidekick, Lenny. Throw in a good-looking garda sergeant, a loving family in Ireland, and a cafe that has a nostalgic love of old movies and you won't find a better setting. Their escapades after creating their PI business are hilarious. This latest book introduced a feline named Quibbles, If he doesn't make you laugh, then you do not have a funny bone in your body. Add in the drama of reuniting with her sister, Beth, and throw in a movie set with its cast of quirky characters, and this author has created a thoroughly enjoyable setting. The action moves quickly and really leaves you wondering to the end before you detemine who is behind all the seemingly accidental happenings. This whole series is top notch and gets better with every installment.

Wrist not busted but sprained.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

I enjoy the Maggie Doyle books very much. However this one made me irritated for the following reasons:
the doctor told Maggie that she had a grade 2 sprain of her right wrist which is obviously painful but I got heartily sick of her complaining about the pain. Every few pages she would be moaning about the pain in her arm and constantly says it’s busted. I take busted to mean broken yet the doctor never mentioned a fracture.
Secondly, with the so called ‘busted arm’ she is remarkably adept with her left hand. She can write, send messages and make calls on her phone and doesn’t find it onerous at all. She showers, washes her hair, gets dressed easily all without complaint. As someone who has had a ‘busted’ arm I know how awkward these things are to achieve.
All this got very repetitive which is why I’ve only given it four stars. Otherwise I’m enjoying it.

This being the sixth book we see more of the relationship between Maggie and her sister Beth. This runs alongside whatever mystery Maggie and Lenny might be investigating. I thoroughly enjoyed diving more into the world of acting and MaggieLenny and Liam being extras. I look forward to a Quibbles the Cat special. So funny!

I’ve read this series from the beginning so my expectations were high. And I was not disappointed, this was an enjoyable read. A cozy without being fluffy with realistically flawed characters who you can’t help but like. And the storyline was unique and filled with enough twists and excitement to keep my attention. I would recommend this book or any I’m the series. I hope to read more and look forward to revisiting them all again.
