About this ebook

History teacher Addison Holmes is barely making ends meet in sleepy Whiskey Bayou, Georgia. When moonlighting at a gentleman's club (don't judge—teacher's salary, remember?) leads to discovering her principal's body in the parking lot, her stable life quickly unravels.

Suddenly unemployed and with a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Addison joins her best friend Kate's detective agency. Turns out, years of small-town nosiness and silent judgment make for surprisingly transferable skills in the private investigation business.

As Addison digs deeper, she uncovers more Whiskey Bayou secrets than anyone bargained for. The suspect list grows faster than kudzu in July, and the handsome detective in charge seems equally determined to solve the case and drive Addison absolutely crazy—in all the best ways.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely enjoyed this novel by Liliana Hart. Extremely well written & gripping, it also had me laughing out loud at Addison's sarcastic wit & the banter between herself & sexy cop Nick. There were a few obvious editorial boo-boos, so the book does need going through from that perspective. Another author to add to my list of new discoveries this year. Highly recommended.

If you like a smart, funny and trouble prone heroine, Addison is your girl. Throw in one hot detective and you have a fire. Getting fired as a teacher for stripping, Addison decides to become a private investigator. Mayhem ensues.

The characters are a little uneven in their portrayals and the ending is a bit blunt, but it's a fun read with a quirky style. I will be getting more from the series.
