From USA Today Bestselling author Liz Talley comes a twisty tale of friendship, sleuthing, and secrets.
Being a part-time private investigator isn’t as glamorous as antiques store owner Cricket Crosby thought it would be. That is, until she finds herself eyeballs deep investigating the attempted murder of a wealthy matriarch. A call from an old friend lands Cricket undercover at an upscale retirement community researching the cantankerous Annabelle Dilworth, who is convinced that someone wants her dead. Cricket suspects the unfriendly senior citizen is simply imagining shadows. Still, enough people dislike the old bat that Cricket dives into eliminating suspects.
Cricket ropes best pal Ruby into joining her investigation at the retirement community, even as Ruby has enough on her hands dealing with her own grandmother’s health crisis and the launch of her fashion line. But when Annabelle turns up dead, Cricket and Ruby join forces to solve the mystery.
Filled with quirky characters and southern charm, Hanging by a Thread will leave you laughing, cheering, and guessing whodunit.
From the USA Today best-selling author Liz Talley comes this hoot of a follow-up to Deconstructed.
Cricket Crosby is back …and she’s licensed to snoop! Fresh off divorce and a private investigator’s course, Cricket’s ready to balance running her antique store with proving her PI chops…if someone will take a chance on her. When a local PI catches a case involving the theft of luxury goods, he hires the former debutante to go undercover to trap a thief. But snooping during PTA meetings and cotillon parties is harder than it looks, especially when Cricket’s missteps cause a hunky police detective to cast suspicion on her new bestie, Ruby Balthazar.
Former Long Pines Correctional inmate, Ruby has a lot to lose. She’s a finalist in a local fashion competition and receives an invitation to New York City Fashion Week. Suddenly, she’s parading around town with opportunity knocking faster than a fashion designer can answer. When Ruby is arrested and made the prime suspect in the theft case, everything she’s dreamed of begins to unravel. How can Ruby create a new future if her past keeps dragging her backward?
The only solution is to catch the real thief, but that may prove more dangerous than either Cricket or Ruby imagined. Toss in an incontinent cat, a dognapping, and a hot tow truck driver, and you have a humorous tale that will keep you in stitches!
