USA Today Bestselling author Jamie Lee Scott brings you the next installment of the bestselling cozy murder mystery series. Now that Mimi Capurro and Charles Parks are co-owners of Gotcha Detective Agency, and Mimi is single again, all should be going well, especially since they just landed a cushy new contract with the local police department. The prostitution decoy sting operation is in full swing and has the stamp of approval from the chief of police. And everything is going great until one of the decoys disappears from the sting operation. Now the Gotcha detectives must find the woman, and find out who would want her to disappear, possibly for good, before the police department vice squad realizes she's gone.


Bad Vice (Gotcha Detective Agency Mysteries #5) Reviews


  • Linda Quick

    I loved this book. The story is told from both Charles's and Mimi's viewpoints. Initially this confused me, but it added so much to the story that I ended up loving it. This is a great series that just keeps getting better. I'm already looking forward to the next book.

  • Patty

    What a great series, and all except the latest audiobooks are available through Hoopla at your library. The books and are short, fast reads,ending that kept you wanting to read the next book in the series. Glad I found this series.

  • Jill

    Okay this was the worst book in the series thus far. It didn’t have to be, but fell victim to bad editing. Weird dangling threads, things forgotten, and the ending wrapped up in four pages! I had to re read it two addional times to understand the convoluted conclusion.

    Answers!

    Well I think that this book answers some questions the reader has had....or does it? What a cliffhanger at the end. On to the next one☺

  • Siobhan (tigress5cubs)

    There is great character interact, suspense, and story telling, but these mysteries wrap up too quickly. They build, build, build, and then the killer just admits it.

  • Books and Spoons

    Like all the other books in the series, this one has royal dose of humor and mystery. And a dash of romance.
    The story is told by both Mimi and Charles this time, adding more depth to the story.
    Like always, the solution to the mystery is not obvious, and keeps the reader guessing till the end.
    The romance between Mimi and Nick gets yet another chance. I've rooted for them since the beginning of the series.
    I just hope they finally will find a balanced, healthy, mutually respectful relationship, the constant drama, not so hot.
    The story ends in a major cliff-hanger. I don't like cliff-hangers at all, huge turnoff for me. And if you have to wait for the next book in the series for a year, even worse. Series that are well written, are addictive enough without getting hold of the reader by ending the book with a cliff-hanger. Just my opinion, nothing against the author. But it does drop a star from me.

  • Denise Malone

    While this is the 5th book in the series, it's the first book where the story is told from Charles' POV as well as Mimi's. I loved this book on so many levels. I'm a huge Charles fan and always have been, so getting inside his head was fun. I laughed so hard at Mimi (and felt badly for it afterwards). I cheered her on, and I wanted to cry at times. I always look forward to the next book in the series, but this one ended on a cliffhanger and really makes me anxious for the next book. I can't wait to see what this bunch manages to get into next. Bravo, Jamie!

  • JoAnn Ainsworth

    I loved it until the end. The end seemed like it belonged in another book. The action was described, not lived thru the characters. The conclusions had no prior trail that would lead the reader to the culprits. The culprits felt throw in to give the story a new twist, but not integrated into the story.

  • Hildie McQueen

    This was good, I stayed up way to late to finish it only to become mad. Because I can't wait for the next one!! If you like Janet Evanovich, you'll love the Gotcha series. Ms. Scott is a gifted and fun writer.

  • Jeanne

    Good one

    This series is generally enjoyable. This particular one had a lot going on yet easily understood. Only problem for me is that I hate books that end in a cliffhanger. And for Charles this is one check of one

  • Kay Van Slyke

  • Michele bookloverforever

  • Jocelyn
