⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Reeling with excitement over the opening of a private investigation agency and her budding romance with the sheriff, Piper Sandstone can't wait to launch her dream career and return to a somewhat normal life. But danger lurks on the horizon -- the dirty cops back in Chicago still want her dead. Even if it means putting the people she loves in jeopardy to find her. They are ruthless and on the hunt, no price is too steep for her head.
But Piper's already in a predicament of prodigious proportions when an art heist at the Bancroft Estates leaves a bodyguard dead...and she and her crime-fighting gal pals are at the center of the crime scene.
Tangled in another mystery in Savory, Alabama, Piper is determined to solve the case with the help of her quirky amateur sleuth friends dubbed the Dentures and Diamonds Crime Squad. These zany retirees traded in their female rock band glory to fight crime, but can they help Piper maintain her cover and catch the killer before she or another Savory resident winds up dead?
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
Piper Sandstone is a Chicago cop hiding out in Savory, Alabama under an assumed name. After solving a mystery of a missing championship dog, she and her senior gal pals have decided to open a private investigation firm, and are taking on their first big case.
While they were at a dog show, millions of dollars worth of art was stolen right under everyone's eyes, including the bodyguards and others hired to keep an eye on it. Now they're on the trail of the thieves, and because of an anonymous tip, they might have a major clue.
But Piper's also trying to take time out for herself -- and her interest in the sheriff. On a picnic together, she's miffed that the bodyguard her uncle hired for her insists on tagging along, albeit 'being invisible.' She doesn't even want a bodyguard!
Still, she has to work on the case, and when they find what they're looking for, they may or may not have hit upon a major clue...and meanwhile, back in Chicago, Piper's friends are having problems of their own -- and need to get to her...
This is the second book in the series, and I am glad that I was able to read it so quickly, The first pulls you into the story, and when there's not another page to turn, it's disheartening. But then this comes along and brings you right back into the action as if you never left, and the story continues with the sassy and zesty senior women doing what they do best to stop crime. There's also a funny scene that I've mentioned above about a picnic, so watch for it.
This was indeed a fun read, and I can't wait to dig into the next in the series. Highly recommended.
I received a copy of this book from the author but this in no way influenced my review.
