This is the 5th book in a series and it was my first one I've read, but it's written in such a way that you shouldn't really be lost at all even if you haven't read the other books. It does well on its own as a standalone too.
This story is about Jake and his gf Nicole that are on a trip together for business with Nicole and her movie and they meet up with a friend of Nicole's that is being harassed and stalked by a crazed number one fan. Nicole has her friend talk with Jake and his friend, Pancake, who are P.I.s to see what they can figure out with this stalker and there are some twists in there too, but I did see who the crazy fan was quite a bit before they said it in the book so it was a bit predictable too. It was mostly a light, quick, and enjoyable mystery read. Thanks to Oceanview Publishing and Edelweiss for letting me read and review this book.… (mehr)

Cultured by D. P. Lyle is a recommended investigative mystery and the sixth novel in the Jake Longly detective series.

Jake and Nicole, are at his restaurant in Gulf Shores, Alabama, when his PI father, Ray, calls him into help with the investigation of a missing young woman. April Wilkerson has gone missing from Lindemann Farms, the resort built by financial guru Jonathon Lindemann, founder of The Lindemann Method (TLM). Lindemann recruits wealthy people to join his program, promising healthy returns on their investment. Ray needs Jake and Nicole to visit Lindemann Farms posing as potential investors. The goal is to see if TLM is a scam and look for the missing young woman.

You can read Cultured as a stand alone mystery. The writing is great, the pace is fast, and the investigation is interesting. Jake, Nicole, Ray and the always hungry Pancake are all here, working to uncover the truth. The banter between the characters can be lighthearted and quick, which is entertaining, but it can also turn serious when required. The subject matter is serious in this investigation. This is my giving Jake and Nicole another chance book as their suggestive banter between each other dampened my enjoyment of The OC. While it is still present here, it was less distracting in Cultured.

There are 5 books in this series, this is the first one and the fifth one comes out later this year.
It is a really fun series with quirky characters and takes place primarily in Alabama East of Mobile, but does branch out to New Orleans and Florida.
In some of the books you know who is the the bad guy and what they are responsible for in others you have to follow along with the characters.
