⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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?
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
Chicago cop Piper Sandstone has been hiding out in small town Savory, Alabama since she cornered dirty cops in the Windy City. Until the case comes to trial, she's been living as Sharon, a woman who's opened a private investigation firm with her friends The Delta Queens, a retired rock group that's drawn to solving crimes. But unfortunately, a glimpse of Piper has hit the news because the ladies, now private detectives known as The Queen's Bees Detective Agency, are investigating a high-end robbery and two deaths.
The hit men are on their trail. Her good cop friends from Chicago are following the hit men and trying to get to Piper first. And Piper and her friends are trying to solve the heist and the murder. How can her bodyguard Gemma keep Piper safe if Piper won't let her?...
This is the conclusion to the five-part story, and it's a blast, watching the seniors at work while they try and stay by Piper's side. Piper, meanwhile, is trying to do her job and not worry about anything else; but then again, she doesn't know hit men are on their way.
Still, I have to say that this is probably the best part of the book. Everything comes together neatly, and we get a climax that's intense and funny at the same time. The book ties up all the ends together weaving the story to a satisfying conclusion, and Piper and her friends definitely have their hands full and something else to look forward to...but I won't spoil it. Highly recommended.
I was give a copy from the author but this in no way influenced my review.
