Sounds Like a Plan

A Novel

De: Pamela Samuels Young, Dwayne Alexander Smith

Narrado por: Jaime Lincoln Smith, Angel Pean

One Missing Person. Two Rival Detectives. Infinite Chemistry. This rollicking thrill ride told in alternating “he said/she said” perspectives is an irresistible blend of mystery, sexual tension, and humor.

Jackson Jones and Mackenzie Cunningham have a lot in common. They are both hard-working private investigators with their own firms in Los Angeles, each happily single, and very good at their jobs. But when they’re together, they are like oil and water.

After they find themselves working the same missing persons case, the idea of collaborating seems about as likely as a blizzard in Beverly Hills. But once it’s clear that they have been set up to take the fall for a murder, they have no choice but to join forces and make a plan that will expose the truth.

Bickering their way from Century City to Malibu and beyond, they find it increasingly hard to deny the sparks flying between them. But with a small army of mercenaries in hot pursuit and a killer intent on covering his tracks, there’s not a lot of time to sort through their complicated feelings. Told in alternating perspectives, this rollicking, romantic thrill ride makes for a swoon-worthy mystery.

Captivating

The narrators were great. The storyline was easy to follow and kept me engaged. These are 2 of my favorite authors so I knew this would be a real treat. I’m looking forward to the next collaboration.

Opposites really do attract

I didn’t like that they didn’t end up together. Their chemistry was amazing. I feel like they should have a story together.

The end, it wasn’t rushed

I enjoyed the easy flow, the dialogue sometimes seemed forced and over the top. The beginning, the middle and unexpected twist and the end, the saving grace. It gave me a Easy Rawlings feel.

unlikable characters with a meh plot

The characters are unlikable. I found Jackson to be especially offputting and honestly misogynistic and kind of just gross. And i was waiting for him to have a redemption arc, but he ended the book as the same man he started it as! But we're just supposed to forgive it because- SPOILER- he's a decent dad and sticks up for women when they're literally being assaulted or clearly disparaged in front of him? The bar is in hell. I literally had to check if the authors were *actually* a Black man and woman because the characters were basically unlikable stereotypes come to life. Also the plot twist was like a 2006-era twist. Which means it was pretty predictable for a 2024 mystery.
