About this ebook

 From USA Today bestselling author Wendy Byrne comes another small-town cozy mystery that will leave you laughing till it hurts...

Former Manhattanite Izzy Lewis is finally settling into small town life in Inez, Iowa—she's got her adventurous surrogate grandmothers, the Qs, her hot boyfriend, Gabe, and the rest of the small town's characters to make sure her days are never boring. But when her good friend Sheriff Nate Crowder’s ex-wife goes missing, right after having a loud argument with him, things go from interesting to downright dangerous. 

When a vengeful DA sets his sights on Nate as the prime suspect in his ex's disappearance, Izzy and the Qs jump into action. But between leads that go nowhere, mysterious strangers, enemies becoming friends, and an Izzy double stirring up trouble, they have their hands full trying to figure out what happened to Nate's ex. With the sheriff suspended, the clock ticking, and the danger closing in, can Izzy find out the truth... before she and the Qs are the next victims?

Ratings and reviews

Wonderful third book in the Izzy Lewis series. With a boyfriend, four surrogate grandmothers, the sheriff and his daughter for friends, former New Yorker Izzy finds life in the small town of Inez to be anything but dull. It was easy to get lost in Inez with these wonderful characters. The plot has several twists and a double for Izzy before letting us know if sheriff Nate killed his ex-wife. I could not put this book down.

cozy-mystery, law-enforcement, suspense, seniors, situational-humor, verbal-humor, women-sleuths, amateur-sleuth Izzy is a frazzled artist with a bad divorce in her NYC past, the Qs are a zany group of seniors who are smarter and more devious than Qwilleran's cat, there are Rocky, Titus, and Boris, plus the folks noted in the publisher's blurb. DO NOT HAVE LIQUIDS AT HAND WHEN READING.! The constant laughing will have them all over you! Excellent mystery and a fun read.

About the author

USA Today bestselling author Wendy has a Masters in Social Work and worked in the child welfare field for twelve years before she decided to pursue her dream of writing. Her first two books, Fractured and Mama Said were published in 2011 and 2012. Mama Said was a finalist in the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence Contest.

Between teaching college classes, trying to get her morbidly obese cat to slim down, and tempering the will of her five-year-old granddaughter, who's determined to become a witch when she turns six so she can fly on her broom to see the Eiffel Tower and put hexes on people—not necessarily in that order—somehow Wendy still manages to fit in writing. She spends the remainder of her days inflicting mayhem on her hero and heroine until they beg for mercy.
