San Diego, Calififornia. KK (KaSandra Dang) and her crew are at it again. The handi-capable Deer Canyon Elementary School sleuth has stumbled across a strange mystery during a class field trip to a local ranch. Together with members of her team SAM (Secret Agents for Moms) they put their heads together to figure out what's what.

Los Angeles, California — Whitey Roode, a likeable former LAPD gold shield turned private investigator is on another case. Father Nicholas Aloysius Quinn, an activist priest and minor celebrity who uses film as his medium, has his most recent premier ruined by a suicide at the red-carpet event.

In the first audiobook, The Gumshoe Diaries: Fortune Cookies Always Lie, he introduces us to Whitey Roode, a shaggy but likeable former LAPD gold shield who turned private investigator after (as he tells it) being invited to retire by the brass. Stanton then takes us on a wheels-within-wheels scavenger hunt for the killer - or killers - of pretty Mei Li Teng (a.k.a Sally November), the not-so-innocent niece of Whitey's close friends and occasionally accurate snitches, Jai Lai and Lu Rong.

That wasn't right, and someone had to be held accountable.
