About this listen
At first glance, the death of media mogul “Big Bill” Argosy appears to be suicide. But his widow, Laila, thinks otherwise. Because Big Bill made enemies - lots of them. And he’d rather fight to the death than take his own life.
When the authorities refuse to investigate, Laila turns to the one person who can see connections in the universe where others can’t: Zip Ono, a young private investigator - and practicing Buddhist.
Zip quickly learns that there’s no shortage of suspects who might very well want Argosy dead. A foul-mouthed hedge fund operator. A pistol-packing TV anchor. Even the Criminal Investigator for the County Sheriff - who happens to be the only man Zip has ever loved.
Following a complex trail of clues, Zip draws on her faith and “the eye of the Buddha” to lead her to the truth. The truth of what happened to Big Bill Argosy. And the truth of her own heart.

Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors - and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead - with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man.

Never a doubt. Never a mistake. Always for justice. Never for revenge. She's the person you hire when you need something fixed-permanently. With a strict set of criteria, she evaluates every request and chooses only a few. No more than one job per country, per year. She will only step in if it's clear that justice will not be served any other way. Her jobs are completed with skill and precision, and never result in inquiry or police investigation. The Fixer is invisible - and quite deadly.

When it comes to law and order, East Texas plays by its own rules - a fact that Darren Mathews, a black Texas Ranger, knows all too well. Deeply ambivalent about growing up black in the Lone Star State, he was the first in his family to get as far away from Texas as he could. Until duty called him home. When his allegiance to his roots puts his job in jeopardy, he travels up Highway 59 to the small town of Lark, where two murders - a black lawyer from Chicago and a local white woman - have stirred up a hornet's nest of resentment.

Peacefully exquisite and uplifting ...
As for the detective part, this is a first class mystery, with a realistic, satisfying ending.
As for the detective herself, she's the real thing, a very capable, very human, very clever, compassionate, and yet fiercely competent sleuth.
And as for the Buddhist part, I've learned a thing or two from this book that I will incorporate in my own concept of how to live a kind and meaningful life.
Here's a wish that this becomes a series!

good mystery, and good knowledge shared
a twisting mystery story, and a full helping of education around Nichiren Buddhism and practices. As an avid mystery fan, this feels like Book 1 of a series e.g. early Kinsey Milhone by Sue Grafton, and it's nice to have another smart strong female detective on the case. if there are additional mysteries in the series, it will be interesting to see how the author moves from educating on basics of Nichiren Buddhism... to developing the character using Buddhism in deeper but more subtle ways in solving the case.

More than a mystery
I am an American Buddhist. When I saw this book was coming out, I was so excited. I am as so happy it was available on Audible. It was fantastic to show how important our Buddha natures are in every day lives. Weather you are solving a mystery or have difficulty at work or in your personal relationships, when you remember your Buddha nature and see others, you can solve any problem. It also shows that this practice is open to everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity or religion. I also enjoyed the realistic story. Life is messy and swearing happens. Allison did a wonderful job narrating. I truly look forward to more Zip Ono Mysteries!

Surprisingly engaging
This was a free audible original and I enjoy a murder mystery so gave it a try. I was surprised how much I liked the protagonist private detective Zip Ono and found the plot held my interest. I felt like there was a prequel but couldn’t find any other books. I would enjoy reading more adventures of Zip.
The narrator was okay, just some of the character voices were annoying.

Engaging and fun.
The plot was engaging and even fun at times. The story is also disturbing. For me, the romance between Ono and lead detective is unnecessary and distracting. I can't explain without spoilers.
