You're welcome Jeremy!!! :D My writing is similar since the longest story I've written so far has only been a little over 300 pages. Sometimes I do feel like some books are too long and added extra scenes that weren't needed. I'm through 18 chapters now and I got to Chance's tech lab he has at home and I was impressed. I've always loved tech like that and it's like he's got his own Batcave. LOL
Finished it and really liked it!!! :D I loved Carlie and Chance and their friendship turned relationship. They were great as partners too and working on the case together. I also liked how the personalities were switched as in a lot of books it would be the guy that's more like Carlie and the girl like Chance. Some really messed up characters though involved in the crime. Loved all the Eagles shoutouts!!! :D I also loved Chance's mom too. Can't wait to read the 2nd book!!!
As for those questions you asked:
1. Yes, I could totally relate to Carlie as an Eagles fangirl. Though a bit different for me being a 2nd generation fan as it seems like Carlie discovered them on her own. Did make me wonder if she has a favorite Eagle or if she loves them all equally. Also thought it was funny how she was with their solo songs when I love Glenn & Don's solo music, as well as Joe's.
2. I noticed a lot of Eagles themes/shoutouts like Carlie's favorite song being "Peaceful Easy Feeling", the "Hotel California" house, all the songs they listened to on the radio, her wanting to go to Winslow, the "Lyin' Eyes" comment about Emma, the drug induced vision Carlie had that took place in the desert, the Eagles quilt Chance's mom made her, and that scene with what Chance thought was tequila fitting "Tequila Sunrise". There might've been more I missed.
3. I'm looking forward to finding out Carlie's backstory not only with how she became an Eagles fan but her past in general. Hopefully it's in book 2.

Good catch. It is different than other murder/mystery/detective novels in that respect.
Thanks for the review.
