Book Summary
Gladdy Gold may have gone from dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker to South Florida retiree, but she’s loving every minute of it. Between poolside gossip, a hot-to-trot boyfriend, and a booming detective business, life couldn’t be sunnier — until a trip back north with her sister Evvie leads to murder and mayhem starring the usual suspects.
Unbeknownst to Gladdy, her fellow detectives
are hot on her trail. Sophie, Bella, and Ida no sooner
land their tootsies in the Big Apple than trouble promptly
finds them. But while the girls go deep undercover, posing
as bag ladies to catch a criminal, there’s another
surprise awaiting Gladdy. Her boyfriend, Jack, is in town
too — and he’s reopening a 47-year-old cold case: the
murder of Gladdy’s husband. Can Gladdy and Jack join
forces to solve a decades-old crime — and maybe heal some
wounded hearts in the process?
